Generation Short Film Comp Image

In 2023 the highly anticipated 24/7 Youth Film Festival returned to the Northern Beaches for it's 19th year. Open to ages 12 – 24, the short film comp is a great way for young people to learn about or increase experience in film.  It's a great opportunity for showing off or honing talents, creating imaginative short films while competing for fantastic prizes and the prestige of seeing films up on the big screen.
