Youth Media
SFFS Youth Education focuses not just on media made for young people but on media made by them. Through a range of events and opportunities, we seek to support, encourage and champion the work of youth media makers and youth media organizations from around the Bay Area and around the world.
Golden Gate Award for Best Youth Work
For more than a decade, we have highlighted youth media through the Youth Works category of the annual San Francisco International Film Festival’s (SFIFF) juried Golden Gate Awards. Dedicated to recognizing and rewarding the work of talented young filmmakers, the Golden Gate Award for Best Youth Work comes with a $1,500 cash prize. Find out the winner of the Youth Works category at the 53rd San Francisco International Film Festival.
Schools at the Festival Youth Works Screenings
Special educational screenings of the complete SFIFF Youth Works program are presented to audiences of more than 500 middle and high school students each year. It is a rare and inspiring opportunity for young people to view the work of their peers in a theatrical setting, with the youth filmmakers in attendance for post-screening Q&A. Read about the Schools at the Festival program.
Young at Art
Focusing more closely on youth media made exclusively in San Francisco, SFFS Youth Education also partners with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) to judge, produce and curate the Media Arts segment of SFUSD’s annual student arts festival, Young at Art, held at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park each May. Read about the 2010 Young at Art program.
Young Filmmakers Camp
This intensive film program is an opportunity for teens ages 13–18 to learn from first-class film professionals in a fun, interactive environment. The month-long program is divided into two sessions, for ages 13–15 and 16–18, and each session offers two weeks of intensive film instruction, which can be taken individually or in combination. In the first week, students participate in the Learning Lab, a series of hands-oncourses in screenwriting, digital video, sound, editing, animation and more. In the second week, the Production Lab gives teens the opportunity to produce a collaborative film project, with a screening of their completed work at the end of the week for their families and friends.
