The Boulder International Film Festival's Teen Short Film Competition celebrates the work of filmmakers taking their first steps as young artists. Students ages 12-18 are invited to submit their shorts for competition in one of several categories. Youth judges screen and select the top films, culminating in an inspirational Academy-Awards style gala kicking off our annual festival weekend.
