LITTLE BIG SHOTS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL FOR KIDS
Little Big Shots returns to Arc Cinema for the 2012 July school holidays, with sessions aimed at age groups from five to 15. Little Big Shots is Australia’s
major travelling film festival for families and kids, and often made by the kids themselves. Featuring the best in local and international children’s shorts, animation
and documentaries, this year’s festival features a session of Australian made films, plus the film voted Best of the Fest at its recent Melbourne screenings: The Gruffalo’s Child.
The Little Big Shots programs inspire kids to laugh, whoop, think and create. It gets them talking to their friends and about world cultures, different languages, cultural diversity, emotional
intelligence and human values. Sometimes, it even gets them started making their own movies!
Little Big Shots is proudly supported by Media Giants, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Screen Australia, Film Victoria, Arts NSW and The City of Melbourne.
Please note that films in Little Big Shots are unclassified. Children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
DATES: 11 – 20 JULY
COST: all tix $5. Children under 2 years of age are free.
