See “The Ring” 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.

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.
