Third Annual T Tauri Film Festival

A Youth Media Extravaganza!

 

Welcome to the third annual T Tauri Film Festival. This year’s festival entries leave no doubt that young filmmakers are getting better and better. We will be screening an outstanding group of thirty Official Selections, as well as all of the T Tauri Young Filmmakers Competition Award winners. The films come from all over the country. Most originate from established youth media programs or high schools with filmmaking programs; some come from the “kid with a camera,” self-taught and self-motivated. They all reveal enormous talent, passion, and commitment.

 

This year’s films also demonstrate the incredible range in youth media, from documentaries examining our society’s most pressing issues to exuberant music videos and whimsical experimental works. Once you’ve seen a few of this year’s films you’ll know why we chose “T Tauri,” the astronomer’s term for a star at the dawn of its birth, as our name. Thanks for visiting our site and supporting our effort to bring the very best youth-produced media to the Ozark foothills.

 

All screenings take place in the main auditorium in Independence Hall at the University of Arkansas Community College-Batesville (2005 White Drive); the New Platforms for Youth Media Educators and Parents Symposium takes place in Room 103 in Independence Hall
