Belmont World Film's 23rd Family Festival: Day 5 (rescheduled from January 25)

Parents with children ages 3–12 won’t want to miss Belmont World Film’s 23rd Family Festival. Guided by this year’s theme, “Lights, Camera, Magic,” the festival showcases a diverse selection of films from around the world—many making their North American or U.S. premieres—offering young audiences an immersive and culturally rich cinematic experience. It’s a wonderful way to “travel the world” without the cost of a trip. &nbsp; This year’s lineup includes mostly North American premieres, with more than half the films adapted from or inspired by classic and contemporary children’s books—a longstanding festival hallmark. For young readers and those who struggle with reading, a professional voice-over artist will read subtitles aloud for films in languages other than English, creating an experience much like story time. Films this day include: &nbsp; 1:00 PM: <a href="https://bwffamilyfestival2026.eventive.org/schedule/the-scarecrows-wedding-shown-with-tabby-mc-tat-691e2a70647cae279a503657">The Scarecrows’ Wedding &amp; Tabby McTat</a> Newly minted Golden Globe winner Jessie Buckley (Wicked Little Letters, Hamnet) and Domhnall Gleeson star in and Academy Award nominee Sophie Okonedo (Slow Horses, Hotel Rwanda) narrates The Scarecrows' Wedding, the charming new adaptation of a Julia Donaldson picture book (The Gruffalo). Follow two devoted scarecrows as they prepare for their big day until a mischievous rival scarecrow threatens to upend their wedding plans. If you love cats, you’ll love Tabby McTat, a story about the warm and wonderful friendship between a msical cat and a street busker in London, Featuring the voice of Jodi Whittaker (Dr. Who), this story is purr-fect for audiences of all ages.

When the wish unexpectedly comes true, the children are swept into an enchanting chain of events that transforms their understanding of wonder, responsibility, and the world around them. Age 8+ If your children are unable to read subtitles, they can still watch the film. Subtitles will be read aloud through headphones by a professional voice over artist. 4:30 PM: <a href="https://bwffamilyfestival2026.eventive.org/schedule/we-are-greenland-soccer-is-freedom-691e2a70647cae279a50365f">We Are Greenland: Soccer Is Freedom</a> (World Cup fever!)
