Upon successful RSVP to the Family Day Animation Film Festival, you will receive an email confirmation containing links and passwords to the films. These films are available for 24 hours beginning at 10am on Sunday, June 21, 2020.

Feature Film: Eleanor's Secret (2009, dir. Dominique Monféry, France)

Natanaël, seven, still doesn’t know how to read. His eccentric old aunt bequeaths her house to his parents and her book collection to the young boy. Nat discovers that the books serve as a shelter for all the heroes found in children’s literature. They are the original characters and are counting on him for protection. For if they leave the library, they will disappear along with their stories forever! When his parents start selling off the books, Nathanaël, who is shrunk by the evil witch Carabosse, braves everything to save his tiny friends.

FLIPPED (2018) explores the absurdity of a world where the roles of kids and adults are switched. The story follows a day full of bizarrely reversed interactions, unraveling the dynamics of this relationship, tackling topics about maturity and parenting in a comic way.
