The 6th Annual Miami 4 Social Change Youth Film Festival is a media empowerment and social change media platform to showcase and elevate the voices of today's youth through film, and inspire young people to create change using the art of cinema and filmmaking.
The festival will accept short video submissions featuring youth as key agents for social change by addressing issues that they care about. This festival is a part of the annual Florida Youth Economic Development Conference(Urgent Inc's Youth Careers Conference) which is hosted by Miami Dade College. The mission of the festival is to provide an outlet for aspiring youth filmmakers to develop and screen short films using the art of filmmaking as a means to harness their creativity so our youth may inspire others while being entertained, educated, and engaged to explore pertinent social issues in our global society.
Our festival enhances Urgent Inc's mission to empower young minds to transform their communities. The transformational power of combining individual skill-building. education and the arts provide youth the opportunity to learn and demonstrate new competencies while positively engaging in their community. Moreover, youth are motivated and encouraged to learn and gain the information shared throughout the festival, raise awareness around community issues, and then share it with a broad audience of their peers.
Throughout the festival's offering of interactive masterclasses, exclusive seminars, and the official youth screening, our youth and festival-goers are inspired and empowered to continue to create positive change in their communities.
