The BAMkids Film Festival, now in its 15th year, returns to BAM Rose Cinemas on February 2 & 3. This year’s lineup, tailored for children ages 2-10, showcases a total of 76 films from 24 countries—with most films in their New York, US, or world premiere screening. Highlights of the 2013 Festival include “Animation Extravaganza,” an all-animation program for ages 7-9, six international features, and two short film programs for the youngest audience members, ages 2-5.
Here is the schedule, which also includes two live music performances: one by the Deedle Deedle Dees and the other by Suzi Shelton.
