Auburn International Film and Video Festival

for Children and Young Adults

The festival received over 300 entries from 41 countries this year, which made the selection very competitive and due to high quality of productions submitted, the selection process became lengthier than expected. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delay in announcing the final selection. Also, the organizers would like to extend their thanks to all the entries that made this screen-culture event a global platform for 'children and youth', in the year 2002.

158 works have been selected to compete in various competition categories representing 35 countries; Argentine, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, England, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Kurdistan (Iraq), Lebanon, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Palestine, Peru, Poland, Puerto Rico, Russia, Scotland, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Spain, The Netherlands and USA.
