The Santa Monica Teen Film Festival is now accepting submissions for our 12th Annual festival scheduled for July 8th & 9th, 2017 for filmmakers aged between 12 – 19 years of age.
The Santa Monica Teen Film Festival l is an interdepartmental initiative between the Santa Monica Cultural Affairs Division, the Santa Monica Public Library, the Virginia Avenue Park Teen Center and City TV. Its purpose is to showcase and provide an outlet for the creative talents of teen filmmakers, as well as encourage youth to use the art of filmmaking as a form of creative expression and commentary on the world in which they live. Although the festival is open to films by teens from around the globe, the public screenings take place in Santa Monica. You do not need to be present at screenings to win an award.
