【Teens@KIFF Hong Kong Student Short Film Competition】
 

Now (2019) in its third year of  Hong Kong Kids International Film Festival (KIFF) remains dedicated to sourcing meaningful films from around the globe. We aim to expand the cinematic experience from children to teenagers, enriching their understanding of culture, arts, and creative media while nurturing their creative mindsets.

This year, KIFF aspires to open this platform to the new generation of young movie enthusiasts who have something to say. We are proud to launch the first-ever Teens@KIFF Hong Kong Student Short Film Competition, encouraging youth to care about social inclusion. By transforming their observations and imaginations into actionable creations, students can produce short films and publish them across various social media platforms to raise social awareness.

Winning entries will have the opportunity to be screened publicly during the Hong Kong Kids International Film Festival (KIFF) and Short Film Carnival, held from July 28 to September 1, 2019. To fully support our participants, the organizers will invite professional mentors to host hands-on workshops throughout May and June—covering scriptwriting, production, and marketing—alongside insights shared by local charitable organization representatives. Paired with practical guidance from expert mentors, participants can continuously refine their skills throughout the creative process, turning their ideas into powerful cinematic works.

Additionally, this edition features a distinguished judging panel composed of veteran filmmakers, professional directors, and media creators. They will evaluate entries based on story creativity, visual expression, and social messaging to select the most inspiring and creative works.

The Teens@KIFF Hong Kong Student Short Film Competition is now open for applications! We warmly invite all Hong Kong secondary school and tertiary students to participate, share their unique perspectives through the lens, and speak up for social inclusion!
