It shows student shorts and honors short screenplays, with jury awards for micro-shorts under five minutes, narrative and documentary shorts, performance, cinematography, editing and original and adapted screenplays, plus a school MAGIS Award and an audience award. The 2026 festival, held May 14 at the school's Melsheimer Family Theatre, was its tenth annual edition and the first to accept submissions from high school students outside the school community, through FilmFreeway.
