The Gig Harbor Film Festival Kids Fest has partnered with Kids First! Now in its tenth year, Kids First! is a project of the Coalition for Quality Children's Media, a national, 17-year-old, nonprofit (501-c-3) organization that is a voluntary collaboration between the media industry, educators, and child advocacy organizations. The mission of the Coalition is:
• to teach children to become critical media users and
• to increase the visibility and availability of quality children's media.
Kids First! Film Festival is a showcase for children's films, TV shows, and DVDs from major studios and independent filmmakers. The Kids First! festival is a traveling, year-round festival that partners with more than 120 venues nationwide who host more than 10,000 screenings of Kids First! films to an audience of more than one million!
Youth are given a true voice - as curators, as audience members, as film critics, as volunteer staff, and as filmmakers showing their work. In 2008, almost one-third of the films accepted were from student filmmakers.
One of the strengths of their programming is that they have carefully identified the age appropriateness of every film show and categorize them by three age categories: 5-8 years, 8-12 years, and 12-18 years.
