What I Want to Say to You
When Namjoo's friends hear that he has a crush on Minjoo, they can't help themselves from piling on the peer pressure to get him to tell her. Besides ordinary social expectations, the spread of Covid-19 is about to close their school! Who knows whether Namjoo will have another chance to see Minjoo this year?
Liam Butler and His Friends: Liam Goes to Liamland
A young animator is transported into his animated stories, with the help of friends and family in the real world.
Don't Hold Back
Don't Hold Back follows four different female protagonists as they endure exasperating–yet familiar–casual sexism from those around them.
What Does "Opening the World" Mean to You?
This youth-made documentary explores diversity — what does it mean and what is its importance in our world?
A Second Chance
This documentary incorporates interviews of people that have been homeless and people that are working to solve issues with homelessness in San Diego.
Togashi’s Tale
“Togashi’s Tale” is an animated short film made with the stop-motion technique. In the voice of a child, we hear the story of the passages of the Nikkei history in Peru.
Having a Meal with My Ancestors
Reflecting on the ancestral history, knowledge and consciousness passed down through a traditional dish.
Paint and Pain
The art of carpet-weaving and rose-painting has a history several thousand years long. This documentary honors the efforts and personal sacrifices of the artists, both known and unknown, whose dedication and artistry survives through the colors and textures of their carpet designs.
Take Heart!
Leonhard, anxious and cautious, sticks to his usual daily routines. One day, however, he hikes to a mysterious waterfall he read about in the paper, and finds himself in a situation that calls for him to throw caution to the wind.
Mask On
A music video and original song by young students about life during COVID and social unrest.
Free, Inclusive
What is a real inclusive education? This youth-made music video questions the practical approaches of schools and contrasts them with the real experiences of young people.

From animations to documentaries, these youth-made creations invite us into the worlds of young filmmakers from around the world.



To accommodate evolving public health recommendations regarding COVID-19, we are adopting a hybrid virtual-and-in-person festival model for CFFS 2022. VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person) Festival Passes are available here.


⚠️ For the sake of public safety, NWFF patrons ages 5+ will be required to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination and to double-mask while in the building. Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them. ⚠️


NWFF is adapting to evolving recommendations to protect the public from COVID-19. Read more about their policies regarding cleaning, masks, and capacity limitations here. We reserve the option to shift the festival to virtual-only on short notice.
