Square Eyes Screen Foundation present world cinema to cross-generational audiences, introducing new ideas and diverse cultural perspectives while nurturing a lifelong love for on-screen storytelling. Our outreach is centred on exhibition and education, aiming to bolster a compelling and thought-provoking cinematic and on-screen storytelling community of all ages.

Although primarily dedicated to those between 5 and 15, Square Eyes events are for both the young and young-at-heart. We’ve been rolling our mahi for nineteen years, connecting kids, tweens, and teens (and their grown-up film-going companions) with on-screen stories—and introducing makers the world over to our terrific audience.
