AGH Youth Film Challenge

(Grades 4-12)

The AGH Film Festival’s annual Youth Film Challenge is accepting short films from aspiring filmmakers of all ages. Making a movie with a phone or Ipad is very easy, and is a productive use of screen time that engages literacy in developing storytelling skills.  Our artist-educators can help through our Online projects.
