Scout Film Festival Screenings and Awards Ceremony

The third annual Scout Film Festival returns to Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center for two full days and nights celebrating emerging short film talent from around the world. 

In September 2015, the first Scout Film Festival launched through an open call to young filmmakers worldwide. Founded with the vision of providing a platform for young voices to connect, Scout has developed into a global community network of thoughtful, creative dreamers, industry professionals, supporting sponsors who believe in empowering young filmmakers – future leaders.

Since then, over 4000 filmmakers aged 24 and under from over 105 countries have submitted their short films. Each year Scout continues to attract high-caliber content for screening, award-winning film industry leaders to sit on our jury, offer workshops and mentorships and dedicated volunteers who keep us going on the ground during our annual festival.
