Seattle International Film Festival is proud to present our very first FutureWave, a program of new works by the filmmakers of tomorrow. This shorts program includes the best of young people’s filmmaking from across the US and as far away as Australia as well as the J. Michael Award winner from the Seattle Times Three-Minute Masterpiece digital film contest. These original short films are imaginative, evocative, innovative and inspiring. They include experimental, narrative, documentary films in both live action and animation and they are all made by youth. The WaveMaker Award for Excellence in Youth Filmmaking will be presented to one film chosen in recognition of its artistic and technical achievement. This award comes with a $500 cash prize. SuperFly Filmmaking debuts at SIFF! Youth from around the country will participate in SIFF’s first-ever SuperFly Filmmaking workshop. In an exciting partnership with Longhouse Media, youth filmmakers will gather at the Swinomish Reservation for 36 hours of Fly Filmmaking - shooting and editing a script written by author/filmmaker Sherman Alexie. These SuperFly films have their premier 12 hours later at FutureWave.
