As a celebration of young filmmakers, Cine Las Americas presents the Emergencia Youth Film Competition, a special section of the festival open to filmmakers ages 19 and younger.
The 2010 Emergencia screenings contain a great selection of youth films produced by a diversity of individuals and organizations. The selection includes works from the multidisciplinary arts program Say Si! in San Antonio TX, the Real to Reel Digital School in Lynn MA, Puyallup youth from Seattle WA, Navajo youth from Arizona, the Global Action Project in New York City, and young filmmakers in California.
The award for Best Emergencia Film will be granted by an invited Youth Film Jury, comprised of students who attend the Boys and Girls Club of the Austin Area after-school programs at LBJ High School in Austin.
Thursday April 22 – 4 to 7 PM – FREE!
