The Princeton Garden Theatre, 160 Nassau Street, will offer a special Pride edition of the New York International Children’s Film Festival (NYICFF) on Saturday, June 7 at 10 a.m.

This is a chance for the Garden’s community of kids and families to celebrate diversity and practice empathy through the movies. The screening is featured as part of the theater’s $5 Family Matinees series, which is free for members of the nonprofit cinema.

The Garden has brought selections from the NYICFF to Princeton since 2023. Kid Flicks: Pride is the first time the stories will specifically focus on the experiences of young queer people from around the globe. The program has been curated for ages 10 and up, with works that range in identity and style.

“Schoolyard matchmakers, a Belgian teen, a group of Indigenous Hawaiian mahu, and more highlight the power that comes from embracing who you are,” according to the NYICFF’s website, which also has a complete list of titles at nyicff.org. Purchase tickets at the door or online at gardentheater.org.
