About [Edit]
Reel Youth (RY) is a not-for-profit, media empowerment program supporting young people to create and distribute films about their visions for a better world, and the issues that concern them most.
RY facilitates mobile stop motion animation and video making programs that create messages young people most want to share with their community and world. These messages are shared in community screenings, over the internet, and select films are showcased as part of The Touring Reel Youth Film Festival.
The Reel Youth Film Festival is a celebration of short films made by people 19 years and under. Insightful and entertaining, the RYFF collects films from across Canada, the US and abroad to put together an incredible evening of some of the best youth filmmaking today.
The movies are submitted from independent filmmakers, media classes, youth groups, and RY Programs. A youth jury selects the films that tour across Canada and the US. Audience votes choose the winning films, and awards go to the associated youth to support their ongoing filmmaking.
