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!

As the seasons change, they must work hard to find food and protect themselves from rival male bears and predators, including an ever-present wolf pack.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs dirs. Phil Lord, Christopher Miller | USA, 2009 | 90 min. | English When aspiring inventor Flint Lockwood unveils his latest creation, a machine designed to transform water into food, he looks to have another failure on his hands—until cheeseburgers start to rain down from the skies. Now the toast of the town, Flint uses his invention to stock the town’s larders full—but when the townspeople greedily demand more food and force him to push the marvellous machine to its limits, Flint and weathergirl Sam Sparks must work together to prevent the town from being buried beneath mountains of marshmallows and waves of watermelons. Inspired by the beloved children’s book by Judi and Ron Barrett and featuring the voices of Bill Hader, Anna Faris and Andy Samberg, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a delightfully delicious animated comedy.
