5TH TEL AVIV INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S FILM FESTIVAL, TEL AVIV CINEMATHEQUE
23-26 SEPTEMBER 2009
The 5th Tel Aviv International Children’s Film Festival, the only film festival in Israel aimed at children aged 6-16, will take place this year from 23-26 September at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque. Over 60 films will be screened during the festival, dealing with subject matter that interests children around the world and promises the spectator an introduction to different cultures. Many films are translated into Hebrew and English.
The heart of the Festival is the central screening program, which shows children’s and young people’s films in various categories: new and specially selected feature films, documentaries, and films made by directors from all over the world. These genres are reflected in a prize-winning competition along an Israeli and international track.
Within the framework of the festival, an international competition will take place, judged by a panel of international judges from Israel, Poland, Italy, Holland and Croatia. In line with the festival tradition, a jury panel of children from Israel will also deliberate on the films. The child judges received special training in a three day workshop during which they were exposed to terminology from the world of cinema, the basics of script writing and the rights of children.
Films to be screened in the International Competition include two Dutch films, The Seven of Daran - The Battle of Pareo Rock (the story of an impossible friendship set against the background of the wild and beautiful African Jungle) and Frogs and Toads (a humorous tale of a special old grandmother and her love for children and animals; the Chinese film, You Are An Angel (an emotional film about the healing power of love); the Swedish film One Eye Red (about the power of identity versus parental love); the American comedy Ready OK! (about a single mom who has difficulties understanding her son); the German/Swedish film The Eagle Hunter’s Son (the story of a journey through the wild Mongolian landscape); the Canadian film It's not Me, I swear! (a touching story about a special child's inner world) and the German film Crocodiles (the adventures of a fascinating child gang).
