CHIFF

The Children’s International Film Festival (CHIFF), is now showing in Melbourne and Sydney until June 10.

Catering for children aged 4-16, the festival's program ranges from non-verbal films for the miniature movie lover, through to a more challenging mix of foreign and English language films from all over the world, perfect for older budding cinephiles.

All of the new films in the CHIFF program are Australian premieres, handpicked from world-class film festivals such as Berlin, Toronto, and Seattle. These films rarely get a release outside of their home countries, so CHIFF provides one of the only ways for families to catch them on the big screen in Australia.

This year’s festival includes a wonderfully diverse group of films including several with a literary connection, including:

Famous Five and the Valley of Dinosaurs - Based on Enid Blyton’s iconic book series. The Famous five race to find a lost dinosaur skeleton during a hike through the Valley of Dinosaurs.

Moomins and the Winter Wonderland - Enticed by an extraordinary feeling in Moomin Valley, Moomintroll decides to skip his typical winter hibernation to experience the true meaning of a wonderful holiday; Christmas. Based on the beloved Moomins series by Finnish author Tove Jansson.

The Little Prince (1974) - CHIFF classic feature - This magical musical fable is based on the story by Antoine de Saint-Exupery and stars Gene Wilder as a wise fox who encounters a pilot who is forced to make a crash landing in the barren Sahara Desert , and a wandering child from a faraway place.
