Big Eyes, Big Minds - Saint Louis International Childrens Film Festival

Dedicated to kids aged 2 to 18 years-old, Big Eyes, Big Minds - International Children's Film Festival showcases the best new films for kids from around the world.
 
Our programs comprise culturally diverse and value-affirming films that kids can connect with. It is our mission to educate, enrich and inspire!
 
Our vision is to increase media literacy by cultivating film appreciation, increasing knowledge of the craft of filmmaking and providing a platform for kids to screen their own films.
 
Each year, the Singapore International Children's Film Festival screens to more than 3000 children, parents and teachers in Singapore.
 
The St. Louis International Children's Film Festival will launch in January 2017.

Big Eyes, Big Minds was founded in 2010 by Mabel Gan. Mabel writes, directs and produces for film and television. She received a Master of Fine Arts degree in Motion Picture and Television from Florida State University, where her short film, Child Bride, was nominated for a Student Academy Award.
 
When she became a parent, Mabel discovered the amazing potential of using films to encourage critical thinking and creative expression in kids. This was the inspiration behind Big Eyes, Big Minds.
