ABOUT FAMILY PROGRAMMING:<br />
Time, trouble and even money come into play<br />
when fi lms have to be rated – so generally the<br />
<strong>Film</strong> <strong>Festival</strong> avoids that route which means<br />
people under the age of 18 can’t see our fi lms.<br />
But here we are, wanting to be inclusive and<br />
give everyone the opportunity to see great<br />
fi lms. So this year we’ve had the short fi lms on<br />
this page rated. This means if you’d like your<br />
kids to see great fi lm you don’t need to buy<br />
a membership. Wow, it’s almost as good as<br />
getting stuff for free!<br />
