FILMS FOR THE FAMILY
Most films screening at the 5th Anniversary San Joaquin International Film Festival are not rated, and many have situations, stories and topics that are not appropriate for children. "Being Elmo" and "Winter's Daughter" are films appropriate for the family.
Both films have the special $7.00 kids price (must be 12 or younger) and the special $25.00 package for a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids aged 12 and under).
