The ViewFinders Youth Jury offers youth aged 12-16 the chance to select the best short, animation, feature, and documentary from films screened during the ViewFinders Festival and handing out awards at the Closing Gala. Selected jurors also receive an intensive crash course in film critique and appreciation from film curator for the Atlantic Film Festival and Dalhousie Art Gallery, Ron Foley Macdonald.

How can you apply? It's as easy as 1-2-3!
1. Write a 500 word movie review for a film that you've seen in the past year.
2. Get an endorsement letter from your Homeroom Teacher
3. Email them both to programming@atlanticfilm.com
