  Youth Jury / Media Bridge

  MediaBridge is a 5-week summer youth program bringing together young filmmakers ages 15-19 from around the world to collaborate with local youth on film programming, screenwriting and production. The MediaBridge team will view films entered for youth in the Chicago International Children's Film Festival and coordinate a special youth-curated screening of innovative youth-produced films, as well as adult-produced films from 20 countries. Jury participants will then become MediaBridge leaders for the purpose of instructing other children and youth in critical thinking, production and close analysis.
