Youth In Action Short Film Festival

There are many quotes about how the youth of today is our future tomorrow, and yet as adults we have a habit of dismissing what the youth have to say. The Youth In Action Short Film Festival (YIASFF) is designed to give today’s youth a voice. Film today is a powerful tool that can be used to inform, inspire, and hopefully ignite change. During the YIASFF the students are given an opportunity to use film to tell a story that can bring forth awareness of complex issues (ranging from social, environmental, economical, and more) along with highlighting possible solutions. Film is powerful because it gives the audience a visual understanding of how these issues effect the lives of individuals, families and communities; despite maybe never experiencing them for ourselves.
