The Rochester Teen Film Festival is an annual celebration of youth filmmakers in the Greater Rochester Area. The purpose of the festival is to honor the stories of urban, suburban, and rural teen filmmakers and give young people an authentic opportunity to participate in a real film festival while interacting with each other. All submissions are judged by a jury and finalists are selected to have their films shown at a professional independent theatre in downtown Rochester. 

WXXI Public Broadcasting Council, and the Little Theatre are proud to announce and invite entries for the 2017 Rochester Teen Film Festival.  Entries due: June 10, 2017. No submission fees!
