Overview

The Children's Film Tour in Mexico is best understood as La Matatena’s **International Children's Film Festival (...and not so Children)**, a long-running festival dedicated to introducing children and families to cinema. It is notable for its inclusive, educational focus and for screening films from Mexico and around the world in categories such as feature films, shorts, animation, documentary, and works made by children themselves.[1][2][3]
