CONTENT STATEMENT
The purpose of the New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival is to provide New Hampshire students with the opportunity to explore cinematic storytelling and create films that reflect the voice and vision of the filmmaker and his/her collaborators.
While we encourage students to think outside of the box and produce works unique unto themselves, we understand that student filmmakers begin their artistic journeys by emulating themes and styles of directors and works that especially appeal to them. We understand that filmmaking can sometimes be a raw and heartfelt artistic outlet, not only for students, but also for filmmakers at the professional level, and we realize that an earnest approach to any art can occasionally yield subject matter that may not be suitable for all audiences.
As each film submitted to the High School Student Film Festival will be pre-screened by the Festival organizers, we will make note in our program and promotional material those films that may have mature content and subject matter and reserve the right to refuse screening any film with content deemed especially gratuitous by the Festival screening committee. |
