Read what the critics say...

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
"...for the young and young at heart, to get people hooked on the myriad independent films produced here and around the world...The movies will transport viewers to faraway places such as Cameroon, Taiwan, Norway, Australia and Iran."

From the Seattle Weekly:
"...a refreshing late-summer reminder that our concept of "children's cinema" could use some retooling."

From the Seattle Times:
"Of the festival's charmingly inclusive title, Girdwood explained, "I think 'childish' reflects a lifelong interest in things that are idealistic, simple, pure and entertaining. It's an aesthetic and genre that we can be in touch with at any age."

From The Stranger (Stranger Suggests)
"What's great about the Childish Film Festival is the lack of finger wagging, the absence of PBS-style moralizing ("It's nice to share!"), and the robust presence of absurdity."

From Tablet Newspaper
"...take along any children or childish people you happen to know or be."

From Lynn, Seattle parent and filmmaker:
"Milo and his grandpa (my stepdad) saw the King and the Mockingbird tonight and we all loved it. Thanks for bringing it and all the other amazing films our way, Debbie. What a fabulous festival!!"

From Caleb, age 8:
"Wow, Mom, we're seeing all new stuff!"

From Veronica, age 4:
"I like the one with the caterpillar."
