Families will be spoilt for choice at the 2016 Gold Coast Film Festival, which will see more than 75 film and film related events take place over nine different locations across the city.

The 10-day Gold Coast Film Festival has given special attention to children and teens with the debut of Y Screen in this year’s program. With the goal of encouraging young audiences to become active viewers, as well as to stimulate critical discussion in classrooms, Y Screen will also give young people an insight into other cultures, with film as the catalyst.

Little Big Shots, Australia’s annual travelling children short film festival, will also appear for the first time in Queensland at the Gold Coast Film Festival. The children film festival features the best in local and international children’s shorts, animation, documentaries and child-produced films.
