The Boulder Teen Film Festival is thrilled to announce the kickoff of the first-ever film festival created just for local teenagers. Our mission is to empower young residents of Boulder County to create engaging short films of any genre. We provide a platform to showcase your work at a screening/award event and help you advance your career in the film industry, or just have fun with your friends. Unlike most film festivals, we have no fee for submissions, and the festival screening event will be open to the public at no charge.

Our festival founders have many years of experience in filmmaking, secondary education, and event planning fields.

We are supported by a team of teenage volunteers who will add their perspective to our event planning and will serve as film judges.

We can also provide feedback and advice to young filmmakers.

As long-time residents of Boulder County, we have a deep understanding of the local film community and have worked with a number of schools in the Boulder area, putting together filmmaking classes as well as STEM education programs.

We accept films of all genres and lengths up to five minutes. The due date for submissions is 09/15/26.

Following the judging period, winners will be notified. All winning films will be screened at our screening/award event. Awards will be given to the winning filmmakers. Additional films will be screened as time allows.

The event will be held at the Louisville Library First Floor Meeting Room, 951 Spruce Street, on 12/3/26. Doors open at 5:00 pm. Unlike other film festivals, this one is just for you.
