The New York International Children's Film Festival screens a wide variety of films from around the globe, specifically for children, at theaters in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. 

On the advice of public health experts on COVID-19 best practices and in the interest of making health the utmost priority, NYICFF has made the difficult decision to cancel all events and screenings for NYICFF's final weekend, March 14th and 15th.
