Rochester Teen Film Festival
Rochester Teen Film Festival
Thu, 08/04/2022 - 5:30pm - 7:30pm
Teen filmmakers in the Rochester region and beyond are being recognized for their filmmaking skills at this summer’s 2022 Rochester Teen Film Festival.
The Rochester Teen Film Festival is an annual celebration of youth filmmakers brought to you by WXXI and the Little Theatre. The festival is Thursday, August 4, 2022 at 5:30pm, where finalists’ films will be shown on the main screen at the Little Theatre (240 East Avenue, Rochester) in downtown Rochester with an awards ceremony following the screening. The event is free and open to the public. Please stay tuned for more information on the ceremony and COVID safety protocols.
The purpose of the festival is to honor the work of urban, suburban, and rural teen filmmakers and give young people an authentic opportunity to participate in a real film festival. All submissions are judged by a jury and finalists have been elected to have their films shown at the Little Theatre.
This year, young filmmakers will again have a chance to earn the Philip Seymour Hoffman Award, which honors the life and legacy of the late Academy Award-winning actor and Fairport, N.Y. native. The annual award is given to the teen whose film is chosen by the judges as “Best of Fest” and was established in association with the Hoffman family.
The Rochestser Teen Film Festival and showcase event is made possible with support from:
