Our mission.
YSFF is a platform that uplifts unique student voices from around the world. We seek to amplify stories that only students can tell, and build global and local communities of young filmmakers who can support each other as they enter the entertainment industry.

The festival is entirely run by Yale University undergraduates: our programming team selects the festival lineup, while our directing board recruits guest speakers and plans the four-day event?.
