I’m so excited about the movies being showcased in the festival. It will be a fantastic experience as it promotes positive social and cultural values. It’s the best thing for me to know that these films, being showcased are made by children to encourage them towards creativity.
HE Heather Cruden - Canadian High Commissioner
I encourage children to explore their hidden talents and express themselves and share their ideas with others, and I appreciate the efforts being made here by The Little Art to give all children a platform for expressing themselves, be it through film, theater, visual arts or any other medium

The festival is organized very well, the team and volunteers are very helpful. I believe here they are not only learning from the films but also how to interact with different children and people socially.

Today media is so strong, no matter how much we try to teach them in class they only learn quicker by watching through such mediums.

The films were short and informative and really demonstrated the importance of education, caring for others and the significance of relationships.
Ms. Ayesha- Teacher- Educators Schools System
Little Big George was my favorite film and the main character was the best. It was a film about not letting go of your passion and dreams.
Bisma- 12 year old student - LGS
I was really emotional after watching some of the films today, they were really touching stories of how children live in other places of the world, like this film from Iran where a boy writes a letter to his late father and sends it to the sky. It was a beautiful film.
Nida- 16 year old student
I really enjoyed watching the international films for children with my junior class, it was a wonderful experience learning through a different medium. We watched films made by children on the environment and climate change, wildlife animals and all students learned in a fun way.

The event was an excellent opportunity to invoke feelings in the young minds, about the intricacies of life.

Our children are starved for entertainment and this festival gives such a unique opportunity to be entertained as well as be exposed to so many viewpoints, and the more they will be exposed to different ideas, they will be able to form their own opinions of good and bad, which is vital for independent and creative human beings.
