We're sixteen:nine International Film Festival and our third rendezvous with student filmmakers from across the globe isn't far off. Our existence is defined by one cause and one cause only– to help student filmmakers hit the big time. It's no secret that the challenges they must surmount in the process of creative satisfaction are enormous and daunting. Only the boldest choose to rise above the limitations of ambition and attempt to breach the stranglehold of commercial cinema and adult filmmakers.

This is where we come in; this is where we become more than just a film festival. We've pledged allegiance to legions of student filmmakers as they attempt to make the world audience to their work.

Submitting a film at sixteen:nine International Film Festival is the first step towards the realization of teenage dreams and the beginning of what could be a career in filmmaking.
