The YOUthFILM Project Due Friday, March 30, 2012 The YOUthFILM Project is an annual student filmmaking contest, presented by the Multnomah Bar Association's Young Lawyers Section as part of Community Law Week. The YOUthFILM Project gives K-12 students an opportunity to express themselves creatively and learn more about the legal system and civics issues through the modern media of film. Each group of student filmmakers selects a topic related to the ABA's Community Law Day Theme, writes a script, engages a cast, and directs the film. This year's theme is "No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom." YFP committee members judge the entries for creativity, educational value, and technical ability. A screening event is held during Law Week on May 3, 2012. Honorary guests, including Oregon Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul J. De Muniz, award prizes. This year the YFP is adding a mentor program. This exciting new opportunity will match a volunteer lawyer with a group of student filmmakers. The mentor will answer questions about the law and this year's theme, interact with the filmmakers as they develop ideas, and assist with planning and organization. You must submit a Registration Form for each member of your team along with your Film Submission Form with your film by no later than March 30, 2012. Submit all forms via email to
[email protected] or to
