DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL MAY 3RD!
Open to ages 13-18, Luminescence has traditionally been an international teen film festival highlighting local teens in Palo Alto, but this year we are changing things up! We are restricting the international submissions but opening up the local submissions and turning our festival into a celebration of teen filmmakers around the greater San Francisco Bay Area!
Luminescence is free to enter. Ten films will be selected to be shown in front of an audience the evening of May 7th, 2022 at the Mitchell Park Community Center in Palo Alto, CA where prizes will be awarded to select films. The creators of these 10 films are encouraged to attend as there will be an opportunity for open discussion with the audience about their work.
Submission requirements are as follows:
- Films must be original & your own work.
- Film makers should fall between 13 and 18 years of age as well as all actors & crew involved in the film.
- Films should stay below PG-13 requirements. (use this like to help you make sure your film would not be rated R or above

- Run time should be between 3 and 20 minutes.
