Annie Luo's Story
Great films have the power to inspire a child’s natural curiosity about the world, deepen their love for the arts, and nurture their passion for learning.
Please join me in supporting the New York International Children's Film Festival (NYICFF). This great organization strives to showcase the best new films so children, families but also audiences of all ages gain a deeper understanding of the world they live in.
Your support will have a direct impact by supporting the NYICFF’s mission. Donations help fund free programs for low-income communities in the New York metro area, ensuring that all kids and families see film that expands how they see themselves and the world around them.
Thank you for your consideration and support!
