13th BRAZILIAN KIDS FILM FESTIVAL – BKFF 2015
REGULATIONS
1. INTRODUCTION
The 13th Brazilian Kids Film Festival takes place from August to November
2015 in different Brazilian cities. Submissions for feature and short films, as
well as TV series, are opened until May 22nd, 2015.
The Brazilian Kids Film Festival´s goal is to broaden and stimulate the
Brazilian youth´s interest in high quality and culturally diverse films. In
addition, the Festival promotes the connection between international
filmography and the Brazilian market to increase interest for international
kids oriented films.
Our programming presents a selection of around 100 works and we choose
3 to 4 films a year to be dubbed to Portuguese. Other films selected will
have the traditional voice over during the exhibitions.
The BKFF targets an audience of children and teenagers and offers a
selection of features and short films from different countries, including
recent and not so recent films as well as unforgettable classics.
