These festivals have been dubbed \u201cvirtual\u201d, which conjures visions of the early promises of mass internet in the mid-90s. \u201cCyberspace\u201d and the \u201cWorld Wide Web\u201d promised a future of connectivity and digital innovation! In playing with this concept, we\u2019re approaching the festival tongue-in-cheek with a wink to the moment. Design elements should look modern while retro, like the indie gaming trend of 8-bit style graphics, and also a nod to the resurgence of VR in film and gaming, especially as a recent fad in film festival programming.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REPORTS RELATIONSHIP <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Executive Director and Marketing &amp; Engagement Coordinator<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE ORGANIZATION <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Talented Youth (dba NFFTY) is a 501(c)3 media arts nonprofit based in Seattle, Washington. Its mission is to encourage young media artists by promoting their accomplishments through programs that celebrate their talent. We constantly seek ways to expand networking for young artists and opportunities to promote their work. Our flagship program is NFFTY, the world\u2019s largest youth film festival, annually screening over 250 films by filmmakers 24 years old and younger to audiences of more than 10,000.

NFFTY serves as an educational resource for young filmmakers, providing workshops, resources, and collaborative opportunities year-round. In 2017, NFFTY produced a landmark VR event &#8211; the first of its kind at a youth film festival &#8211; which was expanded to a full three day event in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>For full description and to apply, click <a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/585c3d2c579fb31beca3111d\/t\/5ef521cb460edc7c454849b4\/1593123275819\/Festival+Designer+2020+-+Job+Description.pdf\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NFFTY seeks freelance Festival Designer for NFFTY 2020.
