Following the success of the first ever Children's Film Festival in 2007, Louth Film Club, in association with the Playhouse Cinema, is repeating the event.
The main aim of the festival is to give young people the chance to see great films on a big screen.
As well as morning and afternoon performances for school parties there will also be the following public shows, for children and adults, at the Playhouse's normal evening screening time of 7.30pm -
* Monday June 16: Azur & Asmar - The Princes' Quest. Arabian Nights style story in a dazzling new film by French animator Michel Ocelot.
* Tuesday June 17: The General, plus The Scarecrow. Buster Keaton, the master of silent comedy, in his greatest feature film, about the kidnapping of a steam engine during the American Civil War, and in one of his funniest short films, both screened with music soundtrack.
* Wednesday June 18: A Little Princess: One of the Daily Telegraph's Top 20 children's films, a brilliant adaptation of the Frances Hodgson Burnett story directed by Alfonso Cuarón, who made the film version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
All Louth's primary schools and several from nearby villages have already booked to send parties of children to the daytime screenings, which run from June 16 to 19 and will also include the animated screen version of Roald Dahl's The BFG.
Film Club chairman Alex McMullen said "The second Louth Children's Film Festival promises to be even better than the first. With over 1,400 bookings for the daytime shows, we will have more children coming in school parties than in 2007.
"And the public performances, of three really top class films being shown at the more conventional time of 7.30pm - last year they were at 5.30 - promise to be better attended too."
* Leaflets giving details of the evening shows are available from Off The Beaten Tracks record shop in Aswell Street, and also from the Playhouse Cinema and the Tourist Information Centre.
