High school and higher education students in Pierce County were invited to submit films that capture the stories of our communities and their experience with climate change. Join us as we celebrate their accomplishments at the Pierce County Youth Film Festival: The Climate of Our Communities.

Although we are all affected by climate change, our experiences may differ or be similar, depending on our own unique situations. Our communities face challenges and opportunities each day that shape our greater Pierce County community.

This film festival is developed by youth for youth to share stories through film about climate change in their community. By sharing these stories, we bring awareness to the various perspectives in our community, learning what is important to each other, connecting us together from Mount Tahoma (Mount Rainier) to the Key Peninsula.

Come celebrate the filmmakers and preview their films in the short film category (5 minutes or less) and vote for your favorite film submitted to the creative clips category (60 seconds or less). Engage in community art projects and learn about climate impacts in Pierce County.
