Our City, My Story 2009 - Calling for Entry

Calling all young NYC filmmakers!

The Tribeca Film Institute is seeking work made by NYC high school students to screen during the 8th Annual Tribeca Film Festival at Our City, My Story—an event that celebrates the vision, excellence and diversity of NYC youth-made work.

Deadline: January 15, 2009

Apply online at:

The Fine Print:

• Region: All films must be made by youth residing within the five boroughs of New York City
• Age of youth producer(s): 20 or younger and a high school student at the completion date of the film
• Length of submission: 12 minutes or less
• Submission format: DVD
• Completion date: Films must have been completed after January 1,2008.
• Previously submitted films: TFI will not consider previously submitted films.
• Multiple entries: Multiple entries may be submitted. If multiple entries are submitted, each film should be submitted separately.
• Youth Made: To be eligible for TFI’s Youth Media screening, youth under the age of 20 must be responsible for the majority of the work submitted. All submissions should have young filmmakers serving in the major creative roles on the production of submitted films — as directors, writers, cinematographers or editors. Any films that reflect more than 50% of creative control by filmmakers over the age of 20 will not be considered for this screening and preference is given to films that are overwhelmingly youth made.

If you have any questions about your submissions to Tribeca Film Institute, please contact youth@tribecafilminstitute.org

Our City, My Story is a youth media program produced by Tribeca Film Institute.
