This week it's all about film festivals for kids and teens!
Reel Youth Film Festival
• Filmmakers age 19 and under
• Deadline December 10th, 2010
In partnership with the Vancouver International Film Festival, the Reel Youth Film Festival is a touring festival that brings a showcase of work by young filmmakers to cities across Canada and sometimes internationally. The festival is currently accepting submissions of short films and videos with a maximum length of ten minutes, including credits. A $20 submission fee applies.
Sprockets
Sprockets is the Toronto International Film Festival for Children and in 2011 it will be taking place from April 5th to 17th. There are currently two opportunities for youth available with the festival:
Sprockets 2011 Film Festival Jury Call
• For anyone who resides in Canada or the US* who will be between the ages of 8 and 12 as of April 5th 2011

Every year three Young People's Juries - two for feature films by age and one for short films - are selected to pick the films that will win the Golden Sprocket Awards. Jury members are given free admission, reserved seats, and snacks for all the films their jury needs to watch. *Please note that while kids from all over North America are welcome to apply, out-of-town jury members will need to provide their own transportation to and accommodation in Toronto.
