See βThe Ringβ and 12 other short films created by SIFFY kids and mentors this summer.
SIFFY kids are filmmakers.
Each summer for one week on the island of Skopelos, professional filmmakers from all over the globe mentor 100 children as they make short films together.
This is SIFFY, the Skopelos International Film Festival for Youth, where youth become filmmakers. And it is pure magic.
SIFFY is Turning 15
Between 80 and 100 children a year participate in SIFFY.
Children learn the ins and outs of making a film.

Over the last 13 years, more than 60 filmmakers from 20 countries have helped SIFFY participants bring films to life.
The kids are proud that their SIFFY films often gain attention in film festivals.
Volunteers come together to make SIFFY an annual success.
Meet our youth participants, filmmaker mentors, and volunteers. And learn a little about us, via pictures.

At SIFFY each summer, kids get to work with international filmmakers and take part in every stage of creation of a film, from initial concepts, to filming, to acting, and more. It's an electric atmosphere that many volunteers and donors take pride in supporting each year.
And it's been completely crowdfunded for 14 years! Your support will help us as we make plans for SIFFY 2026. Knowing our funding is secure for next year would put a spring in our step - won't you donate today?

Something we love about SIFFY is that it's on an island in the Aegean, and the kids, all from Skopelos, live with the water and the beautiful Greek culture all around them. The richness of their environment adds a lovely and loving layer to everything they create.
Just one more thing to love about SIFFY.

WHAT WE DO:
In the past fourteen years, hundreds of local children aged 7 to 18 have worked with over seventy international filmmakers in small teams to create 153 films, which have been shown at international film festivals 72 times! These children have a great filmmaking educational experience, at no cost to them.
SIFFY films are created each summer in one fun and intense week. The students do everything, from creating the initial idea to acting and directing, to partially editing the film with the assistance of professional filmmakers.
