Take a break from the Texas heat for Modern Kids Summer Flicks. Share the art of the screen with your children as they watch stories unfold and ideas form in delightful and innovative films. The bonus for seeing these films at the Modern is the opportunity to visit the galleries before or after and experience the wonder of the paintings, sculptures, installations, and videos throughout the museum, including those in the special exhibition, Takashi Murakami: “The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg.”

The festival will include a selective slate of the best animated shorts from the Children's Film Festival Seattle 2018: Dig Deep, Fly High, two short films from legendary anime pioneers Miyazaki and Takahata, and the critically acclaimed feature film, Kubo and the Two Strings.
