The Film Program for Children and Teens offers innovative film programming, enhances enjoyment of the Gallery's collections and exhibitions, and fosters an understanding of film as an art form. The program aims to represent a broad range of recently produced foreign and domestic films, including a variety of animation styles, live-action, and classics. Films in this series are selected for their appeal to both youth and adult audiences; age recommendations are intended to guide parents in selecting the most emotionally and intellectually stimulating films for their children. Feature films are in English, unless otherwise noted.

All film programs are shown in the East Building Auditorium unless otherwise noted. No registration is required. Programs are free and subject to change without notice. Seating is offered on a first-come, first-seated basis. Groups are welcome. For up-to-date information on the current month's films, please call (202) 789-3030.
