TIFF Kids™ International Film Festival

Chickens for Kimaru (Kippen Voor Kimaru)

Dir. Eriss Khajira and Anne van Campenhout
Netherlands, live action documentary, 2016, 15min
In Dutch, Swahili, Kikayu, and English

 

Kimaru lives in a small town in Nairobi with his mother and two sisters. When his family becomes unable to afford his school’s fees, he decides to apprentice with a local chicken farmer in the hopes of selling eggs at the market. With great determination, Kimaru must learn the true meaning of perseverance in order to return to school and support his ambition for a better life.

 
Safia's Summer

Dir. Els Van Driel
Netherlands, live action, 2016, 15min
In Dutch and Arabic

 

When Safia and her family relocate from Libya to the Netherlands, she’s eager for the opportunity to finally go to school. But the classes she attends in a refugee camp feel confining. When she’s given an opportunity to go to summer camp, Safia begins to feel, for the first time, that she can engage in a variety of activities—and a sense of hope.

 
 
 
Emil and the Bridge Divers

Dir. Friedemann Hottenbacher
Germany, live action, 28 min
In Bosnian

 

Emil and his friends spend hours sitting on the rocks beneath Stari Most—the famous old bridge in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina—studying the form of the divers who enter this annual competition. Emil aspires to participate in this centuries-old tradition. But before that, he'll have to overcome his fear of heights.

 
 
Kojo: A Short Documentary

Dir. Michael Fequiere
US, live action, 2016, 14min

 

Gifted jazz drummer Kojo Odu Roney, the son of jazz saxophonist Antoine Roney, knows full well that while jazz runs through his veins, he’ll never make it as a musician by relying solely on his natural ability. It's his steady dedication to improving his craft that'll set him apart.
