My First Movies is a short film program specially curated by the experts at the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival for the youngest viewers (ages 2-5). Designed with first-time moviegoers in mind, the space offers room to wiggle and explore, with dim (but not dark) lighting to create a comfortable and welcoming environment.
Featuring a delightful lineup of gentle, animated films about lovable animal friends, the program is paired with interactive activities led by Chicago Danztheatre Ensemble. This joyful experience introduces toddlers to the magic of storytelling through cinema, fostering creativity, connection, and a lifelong love for movies.
