It is the mission of the Reel Fun Film Festival to set an internationally recognized standard of excellence in film and video production for children and youth. It is further our mission to support the work of talented and dedicated filmmakers by awarding prizes, by showcasing international and local films of the highest quality, and by providing a professional forum through which quality children's films and videos may gain increased distribution and access to wider audiences. The Festival is also committed to engaging young viewers with positive media images and to using media as a tool to stimulate critical thinking.
We are looking for new and exciting films that we can screen at our next festival Feb. 12-22, 2009. Your film could be shown (or premiere) during our Education Week for schools, at the Official opening or Closing Galas or at one of our many screenings throughout the festival.

Reel Fun Film Festival
One of the most popular parts of this year's festival has been the introduction of Film Making Workshops in co-operation with The Director's Cut where students were able to make their own short films and learn about Animation, Claymation and Documentary filmmaking.
