The Freeze Frame Film Festival is on until March 12 and features movies for kids. But really, the entire family will be able to enjoy them!

Only two days in, the Freeze Frame film festival offers movies, documentaries and short films to it's audience. But they are a little different than your regular films. The films are made all over the world, including Canada, Denmark, Mexico, France, Germany, and more. They feature a variety of topics that are great for the entire family.

"Some of these films are really good for families," Pascal Boutroy, the artistic director at the festival said. "The topics are really quite interesting and can trigger some good conversation."

Some of the movies are meant to be thought-provoking and meaningful, like Considering Love and Other Magic, a film made largely in Winnipeg and designated for those 14 and older. For younger kids, the film How to Steal a Dog. The film is about two kids trying to steal a rich lady's dog, only to return it and collect the reward money. The film was made in Korea.

For some more homegrown fun, That Mennonite Joke features local comedian Matt Falk as he goes back to his roots.

Boutroy says the independant films is what makes the festival so great. "I don't mind Hollywood movies every once and a while, but why not try something else, something different," he said.

The festival runs until Sunday, March 12 and the films are shown at Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain, 340 Provencher Blvd.
