The Like You Children’s Film Festival Brings Big Joy to Little Movie Lovers

Family movie night just got a major glow-up—and it’s happening in the 901.

The Like You Children’s Film Festival is coming November 22–23 at the MoSH Pink Palace Museum, transforming the iconic space into a hub for imagination, laughter, and creativity. Think of it as family movie night times infinity—with film screenings, interactive activities, and a lineup that proves stories can connect us all.

The inaugural festival will feature 9 films, 88 short films touching an array of themes, and 3 behind-the-scenes presentations from show creators. But beyond what’s on screen, the real magic will happen in the moments in between—when families get to create and experience new things together.

More than a movie marathon

The heart behind it

!Founded by Memphis filmmaker and dad Noah Glenn, the Like You Film Club was built on the idea that stories don’t just entertain us—they help us grow, connect, and better understand ourselves and each other. That spirit shines through every part of the festival.
