A Dallas International Film Festival tradition, our free Family Day celebration is a time to entertain and educate the youngest filmgoers.
With a bit of carnival flair, Family Day revolves around DIFF’s screenings of several family films from around the world at AMC NorthPark. In addition, musicians, artists, performers and storytellers will entertain the entire family, and children can participate in educational arts and crafts projects. We’ll also have a bounce house, a face painter a few other fun activities on site.
This year Family Day will be held on Saturday, April 14, at NorthPark Center. The event kicks off at 11 a.m. with and runs until the end of our outdoor screening of ET THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL in NorthPark’s CenterPark at sundown.
