The International Youth Silent Film Festival was founded in 2009 by Jon “JP” Palanuk after he attended a live theatre organ concert. So inspired by what he heard, he decided to “ create a competition where young filmmakers can create their own silent movies.”
All filmmakers must be twenty years old or younger.
For each submission, a filmmaker must choose one of the 10 pre recorded musical themes upon which to base the film. Themes are:
- Romance
- Action
- Horror
- Slapstick
- Mystery
- Science Fiction
- Hero
- Western
- Noir
- Discovery
