Meet the beaver family
Our new festival symbol: grandparents, parents and five kids who love stories.
The Canada Kids Film Festival has a new symbol: the beaver family.
There are nine of them: Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad, and five kids aged 1 to 16. You'll find them hosting each section of the festival: Dad hosts National, Mom hosts International, Grandpa hosts Indigenous, the eldest hosts Made by Kids, and Grandma, the family storyteller, hosts World Focus.
Like our audience, the beaver family is three generations who love going to the movies together. Watch for them at every screening this fall.
