- **Event Name**: Belmont World Film's 23rd Family Festival: Day 3
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 19 Jan, 2026 at 10:30 am – Mon, 19 Jan, 2026 at 04:30 pm
- **Event Description**: This is Day 3 of the festival at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge.

Parents with children ages 3–12 won’t want to miss Belmont World Film’s 23rd Family Festival. Guided by this year’s theme Lights, Camera, Magic!, the festival showcases a diverse selection of films from around the world—many making their North American or U.S. premieres—offering young audiences an immersive and culturally rich cinematic experience. It’s a wonderful way to “travel the world” during MLK Weekend and beyond without the cost or hassle of a trip.
 
The festival takes place at the West Newton Cinema from January 17–18, the Brattle Theatre on Monday, January 19, the Belmont Media Center on Saturday, January 24, and the Regent Theatre on Sunday, January 25.
 
This year’s lineup includes mostly North American premieres, with more than half of the films adapted from or inspired by classic and contemporary children’s books—a longstanding festival hallmark. For young readers and those who struggle with reading, a professional voice-over will read subtitles aloud for films in languages other than English, creating an experience much like story time.
 
Your children can also engage in hands-on workshops--including Learn to the Draw the Minions and Hotel Transylvania Characters and Introduction to Storyboarding for Animated Films--with this year’s Artists-in-Residence, story artist and director Dave Feiss and story artist and writer Paul McEvoy, both of whom have most recently worked on The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, as well as the Minions and Hotel Transylvania franchises and many others.

To help maximize your children’s enjoyment of the festival, we’ve created some age guidelines that you’ll also find marked on each film program or workshop. Children mature at different ages, however, and you know yours best.

Age 3-8: These programs are limited to about an hour or so and are either wordless or in English.

Age 8+: These films require the ability to read subtitles, although subtitles will be read aloud through headphones by a professional voice over, much like having a story read aloud. Some films contain more mature themes, such as a loss of a family member and neurodiversity, but in general they are upbeat.
