Student Film Festival

The Arts Council is pleased to bring a high quality Student Film Festival to the youth of San Benito County each year.  Students from 6th grade through College participate in our educational, creative and fun process of film making.  Students also engage in a series of film making workshops, learning the technical art of film production and editing.   The Film Festival showcases these amazing, clever and entertaining short films created by our youth.  The San Benito County Arts Council, together with our Community Media Access Partnership (CMAP) are pleased to take part in this collaborative effort of inspiring our youth through the self expression of media.
