Founded in 2012 in Zaqatala, Azerbaijan, The Azerbaijani Youth Film Festival was created to encourage film makers who are just starting. Every summer we hold a series of film making trainings in Baku and the regions, working with youth under 25 to learn basic cinematography and editing skills.

In early September we host a one day public film festival in a major cinema showcasing both films from our trainings as well as online submissions we've received from youth across the country.
