Big Eyes, Big Minds - St. Louis International Children's Film Festival

The animated short films range from 2 to 27 minutes long and are tailored to children age 2 to 18 years. However, adults will find the films equally appealing. After each screening, Zoo Education Department staff will offer a range of crafts and activities related to the animals featured in the films.

Screenings will be held on Saturdays, Jan. 28, Feb. 4, Feb. 18 and Feb. 25, 2017 (no films on Feb. 11) at the theater in The Living World at the Zoo. The 9:30-10:15 a.m. screening will feature films recommended for ages 2 to 7; and the 10:30-11:30 a.m. screening will feature films recommended for ages 5 and up.

Admission for each screening is $10 per person for ages 2 and up. Children under 2 are free. Tickets may be purchased at the door on the days of the event. Advance online ticket sales will be available soon at stlzoo.org/filmfest.
