NYICFF 2023 New York International Children’s Film Festival is Live Again With Great Latin Films

The NYICFF 2023 New York International Children’s Film Festival screens Oscar-qualifying children’s films for a variety of ages.

Many of these films are simply entertaining, but there is more going on at the NYICFF. Growing up seems harder today than it used to be, because children are exposed to so much, so fast now. Our culture makes unhealthy choices seem exciting, so it can be difficult to choose a path.

Seeing that others have the same challenges and are overcoming them, provides a good foundation for healthy age-appropriate conversations between parent and child. We can’t make our children’s decisions, but we can talk to them about life before they have to deal with it. The New York International Children’s Film Festival is a great platform for this.
