June 13, 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Manoa Campus, Art Building Auditorium
The award-winning University of Hawai‘i KIDS FIRST! Film Festival returns with four summer Sundays of free family films.
KIDS FIRST!, a project of the Coalition for Quality Children's Media, is the largest traveling children's film festival in the world.
Curated locally by UH Manoa's Outreach College, KIDS FIRST! films are free of gratuitous violence; race, gender, or religious bias; inappropriate content; and condescension towards children.
Age-appropriate groupings of films entertain through a balance of animation and live action, plus varied themes from different cultures.
