teen short film competition - Boulder International Film Festival
 

teen short film competition

And the winners are … 

Congratulations to this year’s nominees and winners. It was an inspiring and fun privilege to watch art created by teen filmmakers from around our state, country and the world including international submissions from Jakarta and India. 

During these last years of pandemic life, we have all turned to artists, writers and filmmakers, for creative experience and expression. So much was on pause, but film, especially, played on as we all watched, streamed, screened and even binged. 

Celebrate how a new generation of emerging filmmakers ages 12-18 is educating, entertaining and inspiring us.
