CINEkids International Children's Film Series
From the boundless imagination of the award-winning filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis comes a thrilling animated spectacle as well as a profound meditation on the fragility of the environment and the spirit of friendship and community.
A wondrous journey, through realms natural and mystical, Flow follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Teaming up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog to navigate a boat in search of dry land, they must rely on trust, courage, and wits to survive the perils of a newly aquatic planet. Steeped in the soaring possibilities of visual storytelling, Flow is a feast for the senses and a treasure for the heart. [85 min; adventure, family, fantasy; no dialogue]
"A movie brimming with sentiment but not sentimentality, this is one of the most moving animated films in recent memory, and, beyond that, groundbreaking too." — Christian Blauvelt, IndieWire
"There’s a message here, and the great good grace of Flow is that it trusts us enough not to spell it out. Even adults will figure out what’s going on; the kids will be way ahead of them, as they usually are." — Ty Burr, Washington Post
"Flow is a joy to experience but also a deeply affecting story, the work of a unique talent who deserves to be ranked among the world’s great animation artists." — David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
