This year, NYFF will be held at the newly renovated Newport Community Hub.

Anyone can come and see the films, but only films made by people aged between 12 – 25 will be shown. The films will be judged on the night by a panel of judges and prizes awarded to the Producer of the winning films or an associate.

There are no rating limits on the films. However, all films will go through a review panel process. The Review Panel reserves the right to disallow any films believed to be too explicit, gratuitous or in extreme bad taste. Warnings will be given before any film that contains harsh, mature or potentially disturbing content.

The submission form must be completed and submitted by the Producer. Incomplete entry forms will not be accepted.
Visit: http://newportyouthfilmfestival.com for all the details. 
 
The festival is not for profit. It’s run by a group of individuals who love film and want to give people the chance to show their creations to a wider audience and for them to gain some acknowledgement for their work.
