If you and your kids find yourself in LA this weekend, the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival is once again having its children's program, Itsy Bitsy Shorts! It's the third time they've done this, and this year they will show 5 kid-friendly animated shorts, two of them by Korean artists, as well as a live performance with the legendary Kristina Wong.
The event is free, you just need to reserve tickets here. I went last year with both my kids and we had a blast!
