Catamount Arts’ High School Filmmakers Showcase features a variety of short films produced by teens from the Northeast Kingdom, across Vermont, throughout the U.S., Canada and other countries. Teens were invited to submit entries in the competitive categories of Comedy, Drama, Documentary and Experimental Films. The official entries were each selected by a panel of area teens. The selected films will be screened several times over the weekend. It is expected that a variety of teen filmmakers from Vermont, Massachusetts, New York and other states will be on hand to discuss their individual films with the audience.
