Greenfield Youth Film Festival
Founded in 2005 by trustees Jill Greenfield Feldman and Ron Feldman along with the School District and the Education Foundation of Upper Dublin, the Greenfield Youth Film Festival began as an initiative to enrich the local community. Its inaugural year featured a full-day workshop taught by university professors and industry professionals, culminating in a sold-out red-carpet screening at the Ambler Theatre. Now an established community tradition, the festival is hosted at Upper Dublin High School’s Performing Arts Center.

The Festival
Approximately 20 high schools from the greater Philadelphia area participate in the Festival each year. The November workshop, a full-day event taught by professional filmmakers hosts approximately 350 students and teachers. Professional filmmakers with various specialties work with students providing ideas, tips, and guidelines with the expectation that it will be helpful whether the students are thinking about entering the field, studying it in college or making a film for the festival. Both the workshop and the event in April (complete with a live band) are hosted by Upper Dublin High School. Approximately 20 awards are given each year for best Narrative, Documentary and Experimental Films as well as Best Comedy, Public Service Announcement, Director, Cinematography and Sound Effects.
