Kids Day at the Woods Hole Film Festival
The 11th annual program features seven short films from around the world, including several live action dramas and comedies, as well as one animated film for children age 7-13.
Children will not only learn about the environment in a fun way, but they will also participate in voting for the festival’s Audience Awards.
Short films in the “Bringing Science to the Screen” program on Kids Day include:
