Filofest Student Film Competition

Filofest is an international film competition focused on short films created by young, emerging filmmakers. Participants submit original short films that are evaluated on storytelling, creativity, technical execution, and overall impact. The event is designed to give students and youth a platform to share their work, gain visibility, and connect with a wider film community. While Filofest highlights student and youth filmmakers, specific grade-level eligibility is not clearly defined publicly, and participation appears to be open to a broad age range rather than strictly to high school grades. Selected films are typically showcased online, and in some years they may also be screened at in‑person events or partner venues. Benefits include exposure for young creators, opportunities for recognition and awards, and experience submitting work to a formal film festival setting.
