It's never too early to start working on entries for this year's Canyons District Film Festival! Entries are due March 19, 2020. Winners will be announced at our Film Festival awards night on April 23, 2020 at Megaplex Theatres - Jordan Commons.

Contact your school's Education Technology Coach or Katie Blunt (kathryn.blunt@canyonsdistrict.org) if you need help or have any questions.

​The Annual Canyons District Film Festival is an opportunity for students and teachers to show their knowledge, skill, and creativity through the art of filmmaking. This year is our 11th annual festival, and it promises to continue the tradition of student excellence we have seen year after year.
Students and teachers may enter films for competition in five categories: Short Film, Documentary, Animation, PSA, and Newscast. Students may also submit entries to our Film Festival poster contest. There are four levels of competition: Elementary, Middle, High, and Teacher. Participants are welcome to choose any theme for their films and are welcome to submit films they have created for class projects or other competitions.

Entries are due March 19, 2020. Nominees (the top three films in each category) will be announced on our website the week of March 23, 2020. The Film Festival awards night, where the top films will be announced, will take place on Thursday, April 23, 2020 at 6:00 pm at the Larry H. Miller Megaplex Theatres - Jordan Commons.  The theater will be open at 5:40 pm to allow you time to find your seats and take photos. Nominees, administrators, teachers, friends, families, and anyone in the Canyons School District community are invited to attend.

​Tickets will be required for entry to the Film Festival awards night. Tickets are free, but because seating is limited, tickets will be required to reserve your seats. Those without tickets are welcome to join our standby line the night of the festival to claim any extra seats. Tickets can be reserved via Eventbrite.
