Part of BAMkids 2022

In partnership with Northwest Film Forum and Melbourne International Animation Festival

Turn up the joy! Join us at BAM Rose Cinemas or virtually for a selection of the most popular films for kids ages 3 to 5 from this year’s BAMkids Film Festival. These playful tales from around the globe come alive with vibrant animation, adventurous animals, and toe-tapping tunes.

Come early or stay after the screening to design your own unique paper sculptures with the creators of Sockz Theatre, Christian Perry and Eric Tsuchiyama. Families will learn to crumple, fold, and mold recycled paper into imaginative works of art to take home. Plus, Christian and Eric’s short film Orbie is part of the screening!

Sockz Theatre workshop runs from 10—10:45am and 12—12:30pm in the lobby of the Peter Jay Sharp Building


For virtual tickets: After this content becomes available November 12 at 12am EST, you'll have seven days to start watching. Once you begin, you'll have 48 hours to finish watching.
