​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 May 8, 2020. Nominees (the top three films in each category) will be announced on our website the week of May 11, 2020. A virtual film festival featuring all nominated and honorable mention films will be held on our CSD ISD YouTube channel starting the week of May 11, 2020. The Film Festival awards night, where the top films will be announced, will take place on Monday, May 18, 2020 at 6:00 pm on our YouTube channel. Nominees, administrators, teachers, friends, families, and anyone in the Canyons School District community are invited to join us for this virtual celebration.
