Selected from 2016 Festival programs for our younger audience members, Kid Flix Mix 1 features Audience Award winners The Visitors, and Octopus, Grown-Ups Award-winner One, Two, Tree, and more of our highest-rated shorts, including Object at Rest, Looks, and Tiny Tunes: Food.

All films either in English or without dialogue.

One, Two, Tree (Directed by Yulia Aronova, France, 2015, 7 min.) It’s the story of a tree, a tree like any other. One day, it jumps into a pair of boots and goes off for a walk, inviting everyone to follow.

Octopus (pictured, Directed by Germany Julia Ocker, 2015, 4 min.) Baking a cake should be much easier with eight arms, but that’s only if all arms agree on what cake they’re going to make!

Me…Jane (Directed by Paul and Sandra Fierlinger, USA, 2014, 9 min.) Jane Goodall is renowned for her work with apes in the jungle, but as this heartwarming tale shows, her curiosity, spirit and sense of adventure started long ago with a toy chimpanzee called Jubilee.

Tiny Tunes: Food (Directed by Andy Martin, UK, 2015, 1 min.) Our new favorite band performs a pocket-sized poem about our favorite subject: food!

Looks (Directed by Susann Hoffmann, Germany, 2014, 3 min.) A grey lynx doesn’t quite fit into the colorful world around him, and resorts to dark behavior in order to blend in.

Zoo Story (Directed by Veronika Zacharova, Czech Republic, 2015, 4 min.) What happens when a little girl who is bored at the zoo suddenly notices a big gorilla?

That is Not a Good Idea (Directed by Pete List, USA, 2015, 8 min.) A devious spin on a classic tale of a hungry fox and plump goose. Complete with a chorus of concerned little chicks!

Perfect Houseguest (Directed by Ru Kuwahata & Max Porter, USA, 2015, 2 min.) A house is visited by a clean, organized, well-mannered guest.

An Object at Rest (Directed by Seth Boyden, USA, 2015, 6 min.) A stone will encounter lots of obstacles over the course of a millennium, but is there any greater disruption than that of human civilization?

The Visitors (Directed by Philip Watts, Australia, 2014, 1 min.) A man’s home is his castle. But not for long…

The Girl Who Spoke Cat (Directed by Dotty Kultys, UK/Poland, 2014, 6 min.) A curious girl wants to add some color into her predictable, organized world where there’s a proper way of walking, looking – even eating soup!
