A Film Festival for Families


From the You Don’t Have to Give This Up Just Because You Have Kids Department: Cinema buffs, take the kids along this weekend to the American Film Institute Dallas International Film Festival. Now in its second year, the festival presents a while bevy of family-friendly programming during its closing weekend, April 4 - 6.

• Victory Park plaza movie screenings, where kids can rum rampant or hunker down for the outdoor movie, shown on the huge screens
• The Wizard of Oz at the Meyerson, simultaneously scored live by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra
• Activities presented by Dallas Zoo, SPCA, Museum of Nature & Science and Dallas Children’s Theatre
• Performances by kid singers and actors

AFI DALLAS International Film Festival features international films from emerging filmmakers, the latest work from great film masters and unique nightly red carpet gala premieres including all attending filmmakers and stars. Spanning 10 days and nights as a whole, AFI DALLAS’ presentation of more than 200 screenings makes it one of the largest film festivals in the Southwest.

Help battle childhood hunger with AFI DALLAS and the North Texas Food Bank. Donate two cans of food at any screening and get $2 off admission.

Visit AFI DALLAS for complete festival details -- oh, and bring the kids!
