The National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY) is the world’s largest, most influential film festival for emerging filmmakers returns for its 19th edition, showcasing the best short films from filmmakers 24 and younger. The festival celebrates and elevates work by women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other young persons from traditionally marginalized communities who are building a more equitable and inclusive film industry. This year's festival weekend will feature 235 short films from 41 countries and 30 states. The four-day festival includes professional development sessions, networking opportunities, masterclasses, parties, and more. Previous editions included early work of Sean Wang (Dìdi) and Chappell Roan; you never know who you'll discover!
