Description
The Westport Youth Film Festival (WYFF) has become the largest and fastest growing film festival for High School students. Last year we received over 400 entries from 20 different states across the country and the world. 60 of these films were screened on the day of the festival last year, May 14. Over 700 people came to celebrate the work of these amazing high school students at the all day festival. Tiffany & Co. creates our audience choice trophy exclusively for WYFF which is presented at the awards ceremony along with 8 other categories. The Westport Arts Center is our fiscal agent (which gives us non profit status). WYFF 2006 will feature a street fair, an online film festival, two special film competitions relating to AIDS and social justice, art exhibits, year round workshops/screening and events, an emerging distribution model to put all of our films online in a membership web community and much more.
