IMPORTANT NOTICE: DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF FILMS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO BRING OUR DEADLINE FOR ENTRY FORWARD TO 15 JULY 2019.
The aim of the UNICEF Innocenti Film Festival is to showcase the best world film and video on childhood. Entries to be included in the festival will promote deep reflection on narratives of childhood and the experiences that shape them – in the child’s individual life, in the family, the community, in institutions and societies of both the Global South and North.
The festival can only consider entries in English or with English sub-titles.

The ‘General Entry’ category is open to filmmakers of any age but carries duration limits from 20-120 minutes.
