Started in 2007, the Arizona Student Film Festival is a yearly film festival and competition that celebrates the next generation of Arizona Filmmakers. Grade school and high school students from all over the state of Arizona are invited to submit their best short films under 8 minutes.
Films are reviewed and selected by Phoenix Film Festival programmers. Films selected for the AZSFF are screened during the Phoenix Film Festival. Each student filmmaker receives 2 Phoenix Film Festival Filmmaker Passes!
Each film selected for the Festival receives 2 Filmmaker passes to the Phoenix Film Festival! In addition, recognition trophies or certificates are awarded to the First, Second, and Third Place films.
A $1000 award will be given to the First Place Winner. Funds will either be paid directly to the school of the student's choice or will be reimbursed to the filmmaker upon payment to the school.
