The 7th annual Luminescence Teen Film Festival is a short film festival from the Palo Alto Teen Arts Council.

As filmmakers and artists ourselves, we recognize that there's no better feeling than seeing your hard work on display on the big screen, in front of a supportive audience. Our festival aims to provide that experience for teens in and around the Bay Area.

Additionally, we want to give the community an opportunity to experience the immense talent, creativity, and hard work of teen filmmakers.
