Unlocking the Power of Youth Voices: Palm Springs International ShortFest’s Youth Jury Program
A Platform for Discovery
The Youth Jury Program brings together a diverse group of students from the greater Palm Springs area, uniting them in a shared passion for storytelling and cinema. As part of this exclusive group, participants have the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in an array of cinematic experiences, from thought-provoking documentaries to captivating narratives. Each jury selects a winner who will be announced at the end of the festival!
Two Exciting Programs!
For the upcoming 2024 Palm Springs International ShortFest, we offer two distinct Youth Jury programs tailored to different age groups:
Kid's Choice: This jury includes kids between the ages of 8-13 who have the opportunity to watch a select package of films from our Shorties! Program - which are an eclectic mix of heartwarming family tales to imaginative youth-oriented & animated films. This program promises an unforgettable journey through the magic of storytelling!
Young Cineastes: This jury is comprised of local high school students ranging from ages 14 to 17 with a passion for international cinema. They get to explore a diverse selection of films capturing a viewpoint from around the world that we hope expands the world around them.
