PUBLIC VOTING COMING SOON - OCTOBER 1ST

This fall, plan to take part in the MY HERO International Film Festival with your students and cast your vote for your favorite films! Three special awards will be decided by public vote: the People's Choice Award, the For a Young Audience Award, and the For Kids By Kids Award. Our staff will curate a ballot for each award, which includes a selection of short films that are finalists in the festival. 
 
The programming is designed to be used in the classroom or at home, with an approximate run time of less than 30 minutes per ballot. This is a great way to begin a discussion about HEROISM and what makes a good short film. We hope that by being a participant in the fall and helping judge some of the best films, students will be motivated to create their own short films in the coming year.
 
The ballot will be on the MY HERO homepage in early October, so plan ahead to make this a special screening of great short films with your students.

View this example ballot from the 2024 MY HERO International Film Festival.
