Youth Filmmaker Meetup

A chance for filmmakers who are under 21 to meet other similar creatives.

Are you under 21 and passionate about filmmaking? This event is the perfect space to connect with other young creators, share your ideas, and find inspiration for your next project! Meet local peers who love storytelling through film, exchange tips, and explore opportunities to collaborate. Whether you're just starting out or already crafting your vision, this event is all about supporting and celebrating the next generation of filmmakers.

This event is sponsored by the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers. CSIF was founded in 1978 by a collective of twelve filmmakers who saw the growing need for film resources and film equipment on the traditional Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), also known as Calgary, Alberta. Now over 40 years later we are an integral part of the growing cultural community in Calgary and are excited about new collaborations and opportunities.
