Young FilmMaker 2021 is calling youth, emerging and professional digital content creators to submit their short films with the theme “Return Stronger”.

The COVID-19 pandemic has touched every aspect of life; affecting individuals, families and communities.

We have witnessed the sad stories of lives changed forever and loss of livelihoods, in the face of an uncertain future.

This pandemic has opened our eyes, and hearts, to appreciate every sacrifice and hardship, and ever care, love, hope shown. This is what #kitajagakita means to us in facing these and overcoming these challenges.

Every day we are surrounded and inspired by selfless, brave, amazing people who will do what they can day after day for others, even if those others may not see or immediately appreciate it.

As the world slowly recovers, it is important for us to remain hopeful, working together in order to return stronger towards a better future. We are all in this together!

The theme of #ReturnStronger gives you the freedom to express your creativity based on inspirations from life and the beauty of humanity. We look forward to your stories, young filmmakers!
