The article reflects on the recent success of the animated film "Flow," which has gained critical acclaim and Oscar nominations, despite the author's opinion of it being slightly overrated. The narrative celebrates the New York International Children's Film Festival (NYICFF) for its role in showcasing global children's stories, suggesting that kids are ready for diverse cinematic experiences. Highlights of the festival include films like "The Legend of Ochi," "Maya, Give Me a Title," and "Sauvages." The author emphasizes the importance of exploring international films beyond mainstream options.
One of my favorite film stories of the last year has been the success of "Flow," a critical darling and Oscar nominee for both Best Animated Feature and Best International Film.
Kids are open to filmmaking from around the world, and it doesn't just have to be Studio Ghibli.
Michel Gondry's "Maya, Give Me a Title" is a personal project for the visionary director of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."
If you're a fan of Gondry or "Zucchini," they're still worth seeing, and you can do so earlier than anyone.
