Little Nicholas - Happy as Can Be
85 min,  Ages 7+
Simultaneously mixing the story of a mischievous cartoon boy and his friends with the true tale of his creators, Little Nicholas is a visual delight with wit to match.

Saturday, March 18, 2:30pm
Belle & Sebastian: Next Generation
96 min, Ages 9+
City kid Sebastian, 10, is less than thrilled to spend school break with his grandmother and aunt in the countryside instead of filling his days with parkour around Paris with his friends. That is, until he meets Belle, a beautifully humongous canine with a heart as gold as her voluminous locks.
In French, with English subtitles

Saturday, March 18, 5pm
Titina
90 min, Ages 9+
“More or less based on true events.” So begins the mostly true-to-life story of Titina, an intrepid fox terrier, and her companions on their aerial expedition to the North Pole. With colorful animation mixed with live action documentary footage, Titina captures all of the real, high-altitude antics that made history—all from the vantage point of one lucky dog.
In Norwegian, with English subtitles

Sunday, March 19, 10:30am
Ernest and Celestine: A Trip To Gibberitia
80 min, Ages 7+
At long last, they’re back! Ernest and Celestine, the wacky and warm, beloved if mismatched pair of travelers who made their US debut at NYICFF 2013 return for another instant classic, again for the first time in the United States.
In French, with English subtitles

Sunday, March 19, 1:30pm
Dounia & the Princess of Aleppo
72 min, 8+
Dounia lives joyfully with her family in Aleppo, where she spends her time traversing the bustling souks, or marketplaces, teeming with delicious ingredients just right for her grandmother’s amazing dishes. Life is filled with kind neighbors, shared stories, and music until a gradually intensifying conflict brings a growing troop of soldiers to town. When the family is forced to pack up and join the global ranks searching for a safer place to call home, all Dounia takes with her is a handful of nigella seeds, known in Syrian lore to have magical properties.
In French, with English subtitles

Sunday, March 19, 4pm
Moominvalley
60 min, 6+
Moominfriends! Tove Jansson’s delightful universe is back, premiering exclusively at NYICFF with all the Moominventures you could ever wish for in all new episodes, including Mrs. Fillyjonk's Last Hurrah.
