The traveling New York International Children's Film Festival stops at the Doris Duke Theatre, Honolulu Academy of Arts, today through Tuesday. It's a sort of super festival — a compilation of audience and jury favorites from past years, most not readily available and certainly not among the offerings at your neighborhood multiplexes. Attendees can vote for their favorites, too.
Tickets are $3 for children under 12 (they are on winter break, after all); $7 general; $6 seniors, students over 12, military; $5 museum members. 532-8700.
The films:
