TIFF continues its commitment to film education through its KIDs & TEENs Program, offering specially curated screenings for children and teenagers and encouraging active participation through audience voting and educational activities.

Growing up means asking difficult questions.

Questions about identity, family, friendship, love, loss, belonging, and the world around us.

The KIDs & TEENs Program brings together stories created for younger audiences, offering different perspectives on growing up, discovering who we are, and making sense of the realities around us.

Through animation and live-action, the selected films invite young audiences to laugh, question, feel, and see the world through someone else’s eyes.
