The festival is open to any film made by young high school aged film makers aged between 15 and 19 at the time of submitting the film. While adults maybe characters within these films or teachers of film making, the films should be produced by the young film makers.

**All film makers under the age of 18, will need to get their parent or guardian's permission to submit the film and be invited to the Doko Film fest, should the film be selected for public screening, without this permission, we will be unable to consider the film for inclusion into the festival**
