The selection of films were chosen for their unique power to inspire, uplift, educate and transform and through this year?s festival we hope to stimulate the minds of our youth in order to uncover the next Malcolm X or Sojourner Truth. We hope that families will attend the festival together to produce the kind of dialogue that is so important in our households. According to MoCADA?s Executive Director, Laurie Cumbo, ?Unlike many film festivals throughout New York City, the KIDflix film fest is not merely intended to entertain, but also to focus on the education and upliftment of our communities. For the past ten years, the Film Festival has culminated with the award winning musical, The Wiz, starring the legendary Michael Jackson. This year, MoCADA will pay a special surprise tribute to the legendary entertainer and philanthropist.
