Screen Nation Logo

The American Film Institute (AFI) is proud to announce AFI ScreenNation™, the first online video posting-and-sharing community for middle and high-school students, aged 13-18.

We invite you to be among the first web users in the country to preview AFI ScreenNation™ .

To get started right away, you may access AFI ScreenNation™ at:
Site: http://screennation.afi.com
Here are some suggestions for exploring AFI ScreenNation™:

  • Browse the videos which are already posted.
  • Create an account in order to upload your students’ projects.
  • Encourage your students to upload their movies, created in school or on their own.
  • Once they have posted a video, encourage them to embed those films onto their own social networking pages and blogs.

Every video uploaded to AFI ScreenNation™ will become eligible for year-end prize packages honoring exemplary student filmmaking. And, in the next few months, AFI ScreenNation™ will offer exclusive “Challenges” in which young filmmakers can compete for special prizes and recognition.

AFI ScreenNation™ is designed for young filmmakers 13-18 years of age. Those who support student filmmakers, such as teachers and other educators, film/media program leaders, youth film festival organizers, can also utilize the power of the AFI ScreenNation™ site and its tools in order to collect, exhibit, share and archive student video projects. Having young people submit their projects by uploading them to AFI ScreenNation™ and sending you a link allows you to send playlists to content evaluators or festival judges.

Organizations that use AFI ScreenNation™ in this way will be eligible to apply for exclusive Content Partner status, which brings with it a range of benefits and opportunities. For more information on Content Partnerships contact Frank Guttler (fguttler@afi.com)

AFI ScreenNation™ is the ultimate expression of AFI’s commitment to K-12 education. Organized since 2000 in its AFI Screen Education Center, this work has been made possible through the generous support of the Best Buy Children’s Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education, other generous supporters of the American Film Institute.

This exciting new resource has been designed for you and your students. Let us know what you think.

Welcome to your ScreenNation!
