MIFF is proud to be a festival for everyone – including families with children. Viewers under the age of 15 can attend Unclassified 15+ screenings with a parent or a guardian; however, we do not recommend these sessions for children younger than eight years old.
In addition to the below selection of films, we also have a Crybaby Session of Fairyland, which can be attended by parents/carers with babies and toddlers who wish to enjoy the festival in a bub-friendly environment. Find out more here.
