Calling all college and high school student filmmakers!
The festival features five submission categories: narrative, documentary, experimental, animation, and high school.
​
The 40-50 films that best reflect our mission will be selected by the Programming Team to be featured in the festival lineup. These films then compete in various award categories, with winners chosen by Yale Film & Media Studies professors. The top films of the festival will be watched by a panel of industry experts to select the single Best of Fest 2025 film. ​
Films will be chosen for their originality, technical expertise, performances, and commitment to authentic and innovative storytelling.
