FAQs

꩜ Is this festival for kids? ꩜
Sea Slug Animation Festival’s programming is curated with adults in mind. The films may contain non-graphic sexuality, violence, and nudity. They may also include abstract, experimental, and non-narrative styles that may be less engaging for very young viewers. That being said, you know the young people in your life best! If you think they would enjoy the program, we welcome anyone ages 2–12 who is accompanied by both a ticket and an adult.
