In an effort to highlight student media skills throughout LCSD, Communication Arts CTE is holding our first ever summer film festival on Saturday June 3, 2023 from 4 – 10pm at the LHS Auditorium. In addition to showcasing student work, we are looking to have vendors, food, and other festival-related fun. 

Standing on the shoulders of an extremely successful Winter Film Fest back in February, we wanted to open up this end of the year celebration to all students in LCSD between grades 7 – 12 and see what happens. Students can submit short films, music videos, tv segments, etc. to be screened at the festival and considered for various awards which will be judged by district staff, industry professionals, and maybe a few other special guests.
