About the Festival

The Gaia Zine’s Uniquely Youth Film Festival was created to amplify the voice of filmmakers 25 years old and under internationally. Now in its second season, the Uniquely Youth Film Festival has received submissions from 19 different countries! The festival is comprised of a total of 52 short films selected by a panel of 10 student jurors.

The Uniquely Youth Film Festival opens in person at 6 pm this Friday, May 10th in Rye Country Day’s Black Box Theater. There, we will be screening all 12 of our Award Winning Films. For two weeks following the in-person screening, we will run our festival virtually with themed premiere nights.
