Youth Shorts is a platform for young filmmakers to showcase their talent, with films created on limited budgets and sparse equipment used ingeniously and innovatively. These films redefine their genres, explore novel ideas, and bend the rules of their medium. They move, inspire, entertain, charm, and transport. The creators are all under 18 and from Kingston and its neighbouring towns. We cannot wait to show them off! – Simran Kohli, programmer
