The New York International Children’s Film Festival will have a showing of Sita Sings the Blues at IFC. This 1.5 hour movie is pretty amazing- I have seen part of it. Roger Ebert gave it “four stars! I was enchanted. I was swept away. This is one of the year’s best films.” For a full summary of the film, see IFC’s home page.
