Kids Program (2015)
Definitely one of the must-see events of AIAF every year, an incredible program of films specially selected to spark the imaginations of our most special audience. Animation, like childhood, can be just full of wonder with the biggest pleasures being the simplest ones. This program carefully chosen for our youngest viewers strips away all the soft-sell toy ads and the over-the-top blockbuster-style special effects and just delivers up a program of wonderful films full of simple joys. This year, the AIAF Kids program has been co-curated by Nic Marhsall, a programmer at the New York International Children's Film Festival. Loved by adults as well, this program is truly exceptional.
The Story Of Percival Pilts Janette Goodey, John Lewis One day, atop of two cans, Percival P. Pilts declares he will never again let his feet touch the ground. A whimsical story about living an impractical life based on a childhood promise. Australia
