We are thrilled to launch our 4th run of the Pope Youth Film Festival (PYFF)! Our festival was founded by late filmmaker Paul L Pope as an initiative to encourage the province’s youth to take an interest in and develop creative skills in making films, and to highlight those efforts with a festival. We have been thrilled with the projects we have seen!
PYFF once again extends an invitation to all youth between the ages of 12 – 19 to create and submit an original short film. All the films submitted will be showcased on our YouTube channel and the winners of each category will be screened at the Majestic Theatre in St. John’s on March 12th . We invite anyone who submitted a film to join us!
And now for prizes! We will have CA$H prizes of $250 for each category winner, plus an overall winner taking home the grand prize of $1000.00. We also have honorable craft awards and certificates in other categories awarded that evening.
So, get your friends together, grab your smart-phones, and make a film! And if you’re looking for more info on how to submit, or tips on how to shoot a film, check out our website and socials! We can’t wait to see your projects come to life!
