The MWSFF is a student film festival dedicated to showcasing the talent and creativity of the region’s youth by providing an opportunity for young filmmakers and production teams to explore and create stories through motion pictures.

Finalists among these student-created films will be shared with friends, families and the community in TCAN’s state-of-the-art screening room.

We hope to see the MWSFF become the largest student film festival in the region. Participating in this festival provides entrants the opportunity to:

• Share films with the regional community

• Screen films in an independent, state-of-the-art cinema

• Network with a jury of judges from the industry, and other filmmakers in the region

• Attend the festival premiere showcase

Submissions are now open for our sixth annual MetroWest Student Film Festival. Films can be submitted via our FilmFreeway page. The submission deadline is April 22, 2024.

Official public screening dates for finalists are scheduled for May 19, 2024, at The Center for Arts in Natick.

MWSFF cordially invites residents between the ages of 14 and 19, who are current high school students living in MetroWest Massachusetts to submit.
