For those in the neighbourhood that love visiting the cinema with kids in tow, in the holidays … check out the Children's International Film Festival.

CHIFF brings a curated selection of international features and family short films, as well as fun events to the youngest film buffs and their families.

 The Children's International Film Festival (CHIFF) will be in cinemas over four weekends in June, and throughout the July school holidays. 

Catering for children aged 3 years and up, the festival's program ranges from non-verbal films for the miniature movie lover, through to a more challenging mix of foreign and English-language films from all over the world, perfect for older budding cinephiles.
