Some of the 86 films at Little Big Shots have been selected for The Berlinale, the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival (the only children’s film festival selected to be an Academy Award qualifying festival), and have even won major awards at Cannes.
Others have been unearthed by festival director Marcella Bidinost, specifically for Little Big Shots.
