FIN Kids Festival Tour

Halifax, Canada


FIN Kids is a film festival for young people and their families with locations across Atlantic Canada. It offers FREE daytime films screenings and hands-on workshops for school groups and youth organizations as well as competitions that showcase and award youth-made films.

Formerly known as ViewFinders, FIN Kids has changed its name to reflect its status as an integral part of the FIN family of events and activities, which also includes the Atlantic International Film Festival in September. Our mission is the same: to present curated movies and shorts exploring vast emotional journeys that engage, entertain and invigorate Atlantic Canadians.

Since 2002, FIN Kids has grown into an Atlantic Canada-wide youth initiative that brings the FIN experience to school groups and communities across the region.

Each year FIN Kids presents the best in regional, national and international films for youth, tackling issues from multiculturalism and community to sustainability and creativity. The program’s activities introduce students to the wonderful world of filmmaking through hands-on media workshops, and the FIN Kids Film Competition provides a platform for young filmmakers - a proven launching pad for the next generation of talent.

FIN Kids is the first step in a life full of experiencing and celebrating the art of film and filmmaking.

Throughout the year, the FIN Kids team is hard at work to bring a whole series of activities and programs to young people across the Atlantic provinces. This year's tour will include dates in the following locations:

Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
Sydney, Nova Scotia
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island
St. John, New Brunswick
Halifax, Nova Scotia

**Please note that filmmakers that are aged 18 or under and that live in one of the four Atlantic Canadian provinces (i.e. New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) can choose to also enter the FIN Kids Youth Competition free of charge. The Call for Entries for the FIN Kids Film Competition open on November 18, 2019.**
