About the Festival
|
"Do It Your Damn Self!!" (DIYDS!!) National Youth Video and Film  Festival is a product of the Community Art Center's Teen Media Program.
The Teen Media Program, founded in 1970, has encouraged generations of teens to share their stories. With photography, video and filmmaking as tools of expression, they have incited positive change in their lives and the world around them. DIYDS!! is the longest running youth-produced festival in the country, drawing over 1000 youth and adults to public screenings every year. The Teen Media Program youth understood that, "if you want something done, you gotta do it your damn self." This audacious motto became the mission of the festival, where youth producers world-wide are given a venue to be heard and appreciated by a wide audience. The festival weekend is a gathering for young people from across the country to unite with their shared interests in media to encourage and communicate relevant issue
