Thank you to all the amazing young filmmakers from around the world that have made submissions for your patience and understanding. LANTERN & LIGHT INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S FILM FESTIVAL “Giving a voice to our children for their future” The LLICFF is a major international festival of short films made by young people between the ages of 6 - 18. As a unique film festival, it has quickly gained a reputation for its distinction in concentrating on films made by young people. So if you are 18 and under and you have made a short film get it in to us now. As well, this year we introduce an exciting and timely new category with the inaugural new award: LLICFF GOLDEN FLAME AWARD. This category is our only category for older professional filmmakers, but only if you are a filmmaker working with young people helping them make films, and you are helping to give young people a voice that is inspirational and inclusive? The motto of the LLICFF is GIVING VOICE TO OUR CHILDREN FOR THEIR FUTURE, so if you are a filmmaker working in the industry with young people we want to hear from you. Gain recognition of your work - submit a short film to be eligible for the Golden Flame Award. The next official festival will be in June 2021 when three days of International and Australian short films specifically made by young people will be selected and screened, with prestigious awards given to the best film in various categories. The LLICFF hosts stories from children in all cultures and from varying ways of life. This intercultural adventure encourages empathy and understanding, and we believe nothing does that better than the moving image, and in particular - films made through the eyes of the children themselves. LLICFF gives young filmmakers the opportunity to see their film projected onto the big screen. Get submitted for awards and be seen by professionals in the film industry. How exciting is that! The festival also has a special regional focus with schools and individual young students encouraged to participate, a great opportunity for our own budding Yarra Ranges filmmakers. We can’t wait for the 2021 Lantern & Light International Children’s Film Festival.
