FutureWave Shorts 2007

Seattle International Film Festival is proud to present FutureWave Shorts, a program of new works by the filmmakers of tomorrow. All made by artists under 18, and running the gamut from experimental to narrative to documentary, from live action to animation, these original short films are never less than imaginative, evocative and inspiring. This program includes the best of young people’s filmmaking from across the US and as far away as Italy as well as the J. Michael Award winner from the Seattle Times Three-Minute Masterpiece digital film contest.

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, selected by the directors of this year’s Fly Filmmaking Challenge, comes with a $500 cash prize.
