Tribeca Cinemas Kids Club
Seasons of Love will screen on June 5, 2010 as a part of the Tribeca Cinemas Kids Club, a new family film series from the Tribeca Film Festival!
It will screen as a part of the “Great Shorts!” program at 10:30am at the Tribeca Cinemas (54 Varick Street, NYC). Click here to buy tickets and see what other films are playing.
A little bit more about the “Great Shorts!” program…
“Colorful, funny, sweet and creative–short films are one of the best-kept secrets of the movies. Telling any story in a short time period is hard, and telling a GREAT story in a short time is even harder. Whether it’s puppy love, amazing animation or movie magic at its best, these eclectic kid-friendly short films share amazing stories from around the world.”
I hope to see you there!
