About RE-Generation International Youth Film Festival
The RE-Generation International Youth Film Festival is an annual event that showcases over 50 short films across the 4 categories and this unique film fest provides a rare platform for the work of young creatives to be seen and appreciated alongside multi-award-winning cinematographers and animators from around the world. The curation is chosen to ensure a wonderful family experience that will send you home feeling uplifted and inspired!
Where do we go after the ‘Z Generation’? The RE-Generation – the RESILIENT & EMPOWERED generation – who are taking on greater challenges than all the previous generations of humanity. RIYFF has a particular focus on films created for young people, by young people, that address contemporary issues through innovating storytelling. The core aim of this film festival is to encourage our young generation to engage with important social, environmental and cultural issues through positive, thought-provoking and solution-focused content, which promotes a sense of resilience and empowerment.
RIYFF ’24 is proud to be partnering with the Banksia Foundation, Monash University and Eco Voice in Australia and LA / San Diego International Children’s Film Festivals and the One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest in USA and the overall aim is to inspire and motivate our young generation with short films that focus on positive solutions for creating the world we all wish to live in, and to mentor and encourage young filmmakers in the production of powerful, solution-based content that focuses on resilience, empowerment and aspiration across any topic.
Tickets are now available for the premiere and Award Evening via Melbourne Fringe.
