What is EDUFF?

EDU Film Festival is a student-centered celebration of high school filmmakers. With events in Minneapolis and across Minnesota, under it’s new parent organization, Future Film & Sound, EDUFF creates exceptional spaces for young people to grow their curiosity in film production and sound for film. This is our way of helping young people feel confident and connected, and ensuring educators feel excited and supported.

Each year, students from across the globe submit their original film projects for the chance to be screened at the festival. Between 60 and 120 short films are selected—ranging from documentaries and dramas to comedies, animations, and deeply personal stories. All films are made by young people, and all are presented in a theater setting with friends, teachers, and a live audience.
