Films screened include the work of students from the Department of Electronic Media and Film at TU; Kids on the Hill, a Baltimore City after school program; Baltimore City's Digital Harbor High School; and Wide Angle Youth Media.

The Festival was developed through a partnership with Towson University, Kids on the Hill and Digital Harbor High School that brings students together to discuss how media can be used to raise social awareness about community, national and global issues. This partnership fosters interaction between high school and college students who share a passion for film.

This event is free and open to the public.
