A cube in a society of spheres. A space explorer who has to decide whether to reach for the unknown. A boy who accidentally starts a revolution. A girl in 2035 left alone when her AI dies. And a class of animators who all built their own window on a moving world and put them together.

Here is what the day will look like
EDU FILM FESTIVAL 2026
CHOOSE YOUR PATH
You won’t catch every film because the festival is built for choice.
Here’s how it typically works:
There’s a morning block, a mid-morning block, and a block after lunch. They stagger, so you may catch Program 1, then have some time to connect with friends at our exhibits until Program 4. Or you may choose to check out the rest of the festival for a while in the morning and sit in on Program 3 when it begins.
Choose one from Programs 1, 2, or 3
Choose one from Programs 4 or 5
Choose one from Programs 6 or 7
Choose one from Programs 8 or 9
Experience Program 10 together!
Plan your day based on what excites you. Follow your interests, explore new perspectives, and build a path that’s entirely your own.
Note: Films marked with [MS] are Multi-Screeners, and appear in more than one program. If you miss one, you might catch it later in the day.
