TIFF gratefully acknowledges the support of:

WELCOME!Between April 8 and 21 this year, TIFF Bell Lightbox will be taken over by our youngest audiences for the TIFF Kids International Film Festival™. With more than 112 films from over 31 countries, the TIFF Kids Festival brings the best in family cinema to Toronto, along with an exciting lineup of filmmakers, guests, and interactive activities.

The TIFF Kids Festival is dedicated to engaging our young audiences through Q&As with directors, actors, and guests; the Jump Cuts® Young Filmmaker Showcase; the TIFF Kids Festival Young People’s Juries; and other on-site activities. We want kids to walk away from TIFF Bell Lightbox feeling inspired and empowered, and we want to spark a lifelong love affair with film.

This year’s lineup is nothing short of spectacular. We have something for everyone: animated and live-action adventure, drama, comedy, documentary, and some of the best short films you’ll ever see.

Our award-winning interactive exhibition, digiPlaySpace™, is also back for its third year, and it’s bigger than ever! Filled with fun, innovative installations, learning-centric games, mobile apps, and activities, digiPlaySpace encourages kids and parents to explore new-media technologies and discover new ways of storytelling.

The TIFF Kids Festival is so much more than a day at the movies. We hope everyone will join us for an action-packed 2014 festival!

Every morning at precisely four o’clock, the

rooster of St-Victor awakens the citizenry

with his ear-splitting crow. Convinced that

the village owes its orderliness and economic

prosperity to the early bird, the mayor

steadfastly defends the rooster’s pain-in-

the-neck punctuality against the protests of

the sleep-deprived citizens. Tired of being

so early to rise, some of the villagers seize

an opportunity to force the rooster to fly the

coop—but as idleness soon takes hold in the

absence of the bird’s daily wake-up call, the

hamlet takes a turn for the worse. Realizing

that their fortunes are founded on the fowl,

a group of townspeople embarks on an epic

(and hilarious) journey to restore the rooster

to his rightful place.

Kick It! Kule kidz gråter ikkedir. Katarina Launing | Norway, 2014 | 102 min. | Norwegian w/English subtitles | PG


Anja loves soccer more than anything, so

when she begins training for the school’s

annual soccer tournament, her excitement

is contagious. However, her classmate Jonas

doesn’t think girls should play a “boy’s game,”

and he makes things difficult for her both on

and off the field. When Anja is diagnosed with

leukemia, she is determined to get better

in time to play in the big game—but when it

begins to look as if her illness will keep her

sidelined, it’s Jonas who hatches a special

plan. A remake of the Dutch film Cool Kids

Don’t Cry, which won the TIFF Kids Audience

Choice Award in 2012, Kick It! handles its

difficult subject matter with delicacy, honesty

and compassion.

N.B.: coarse language, depiction of child undergoing treatment

Bank, is so enamoured of the two giraffes at

the Qalqilya Zoo that he can communicate

with them. Ziad enjoys helping his recently

widowed father, Yacine, a veterinarian who

works hard to protect the zoo as a haven

for animals and for the local children who

play and learn there. When one of Ziad’s

beloved giraffes is lost in an airstrike, Yacine

is determined to bring in a new mate from the

Ramat Gan safari park in Israel. Inspired by

a true story, Giraffada beautifully illustrates

the bond that can grow between children and

animals, while raising important questions

about social justice and the tragic toll of

political conflict.

N.B.: animal death (unseen), romantic relationship between

adults, consumption of alcohol, political unrest, effects of an

airstrike

School of Babel La Cour de Babeldir. Julie Bertuccelli | France, 2013 | 89 min. | French w/ English subtitles | PG

Shot over one school year at La Grange-

aux-Belles secondary school in Paris’ 10th

arrondissement, this inspiring documentary

follows young newcomers to France as they

try to adapt to life in their new country.

Attending a reception class where they

learn French before joining the fluent French

speakers, the newly arrived students—

who range in age from eleven to fifteen

and hail from countries including Ireland,

Serbia, Ukraine, China, Brazil, Tunisia, and

Senegal—must not only struggle with the

complexities of a new language but also deal

with homesickness, familial responsibilities,

and memories of difficult lives back

home. Nevertheless, through patience,

encouragement, and a documentary project,

teacher Brigitte Cervoni shows her students

(and the audience) that language is not a

barrier to friendship and mutual respect.

N.B.: discussion of familial violence, verbally

aggressive behaviour
