FutureWave Shorts Competition
This program of new films created by filmmakers younger than 18 years old celebrates international talent who are exploring the creative possibilities of the art form.
SIFF presents FutureWave Shorts as a program during annual Seattle International Film Festival. These inspiring original short films, created by youth aged 18 and under, represent some of the best short filmmaking from around the world. The Wavemaker Award for Excellence in Youth Filmmaking will be presented to a film chosen in recognition of its artistic and technical achievement.
The 50th annual Seattle International Film Festival will spotlight new voices alongside established directors, films from more than 70 countries, sensational hit independents, and films that have yet to break through to the US audiences.
The 50th Seattle International Film Festival will run in-person May 9–19, 2024 at SIFF Cinemas and venues throughout the city.
