A day-long conference of screenings, interactive presentations, and hands-on activities for high school students, the Youth Media Conference inspires and equips students to explore, appreciate, analyze, create and share screen media. The conference will promote youth participation and representation in the media as a way to build community strength, encourage dialogue, and push for social and political change.

Youth Filmmakers Showcase
The Youth Filmmakers Showcase presents new, entertaining and well-crafted works by youth across British Columbia. A jury of some of Vancouver’s most renowned film professionals will present awards and comments following this inspiring and energizing program of shorts made by youth. Be sure to come and cast your vote for the audience award, which will be determined by secret ballot.
Thursday, April 18, 4:00 – 6:00 pm, Vancity Theatre
Talent Lab
Students attend screenings of short or feature length films, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker, discussant or Festival Director. While Talent Lab films are open to students at all grade levels, we suggest Wunderkinder for students in Grades 7-12.
