Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the second annual “Beyond the Peaks” Student Film Festival will take place virutally this year,

Film submissions are being accepted via a digital platform with a deadline of June 8. The festival is sponsored by Lake Placid Institute and organized by AdkAction and the Tupper Lake Central School District.

The Film Festival’s purpose is to offer a creative outlet to currently homebound Adirondack middle and high school students, and to encourage them to document their experiences during these times on film.

Participation in the festival is open to all middle and high school aged youth in the entire Adirondack Region. To learn more, and sign up for the festival visit: https://www.adkaction.org/project/student-film-festival/.

After the deadline, the films submitted will be judged, and prize packages will be sent in the mail to the winner of each category.
