For over two decades, the PAFF StudentFest has provided a free showcase of films tailored to students.

Each year 10,000 students and their teachers from the Los Angeles Unified School District and other surrounding school districts and cities attend this free program showcasing films dealing with issues important to youth, such as Coming of Age, Teen Pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, LGBTQ+, Women’s Empowerment, Cultural and Racial Respect, Self Esteem / Mental Health, and Gang and Drug Prevention.

Before and after the screenings, speakers working in areas related to the subject matter of the films conduct positive and interactive discussions with the students.

Attendance is by reservation only.

Email confirmations, including screening date and film selection, will be emailed to approved submissions only. Please add [email protected] to your email address book to ensure that you receive the email.
