Boston International Kids Film Festival Workshops and Special Events


NEXT GEN VOICES: A HIGH SCHOOL FILM SHOWCASE |  Friday, November 20, 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Celebrate the next generation of storytellers at Next Gen Voices, a cinematic showcase featuring short films created by high school students from across Massachusetts. Experience an evening of creativity, innovation, and bold perspectives as young filmmakers share their work on the big screen.

In addition to the screenings, student filmmakers will have the rare opportunity to engage directly with professionals from the film industry through live judging and feedback sessions. This interactive format allows students to gain valuable insights into their craft, learn from experienced voices, and explore the many pathways a career in film can take. It’s not only a showcase of talent—but a space for mentorship, inspiration, and community connection.

Join us in championing the voices shaping the future of film!
