Because town lines tend to divide us into more homogeneous groups, we often forget about the incredible socio-economic, ethnic, cultural and philosophical diversity that exists in Connecticut. WYFF brings together students from Norwalk, Westport, Bridgeport, Wilton, Stamford, Fairfield, New Haven and Weston to create a dynamic, professional level film festival.

Their mission is to provide young artists with agency for their voices and in doing so to foster the next generation of great filmmakers. They aim to bring teens from different places and experiences together to take part in the creation of a professional level film festival. WYFF empowers young people to expand their concept of what they are capable of doing.

The 2012 Westport Youth Film Festival will be held June 2nd. To purchase a full day pass, click here. The festival centers around screening the art of teen filmmakers. Submissions come from local, national and international youth artists.
