Film Festival

The Connecticut Student Film Festival (CTSFF) is the culminating experience for Connecticut middle and high school students who are engaged in a variety of innovative, cutting-edge film programs in Connecticut.

The CTSFF is a result of a collaborative effort by Connecticut business, government, K–12 education, higher education, and not-for-profit organizations that support programs for Connecticut urban and suburban students and teachers. Participants submit work to www.ctstudentfilms.org where they are short listed and judged by a panel of industry professionals and college faculty.

Selected films are split into categories and presented at the festival, where the winning films from each category are announced.

Recent participants of the CTSFF have included students from the following school districts and organizations.
