BISD Film Festival Contest

BISD Film Festival Contest

Calling all BISD storytellers! The annual BISD Film Festival is a filmmaking contest that showcases student storytelling, creativity, and production talents. 

Everyone has a story to tell, and filmmaking can provide an outlet and a fun way to share ideas and creativity. Students with access to an iPhone, Android, Chromebook, iPad, tablet, or high-quality equipment have the tools to plan, shoot, and edit short films. 

How to Get Started
The BISD Film Festival challenges BISD students in grades K-12 to produce either a narrative or an animation/stop motion short film.
