Young Emerging Showcase
The Newburyport Documentary Film Festival’s YES (Young Emerging Showcase) Award is dedicated to presenting work by the next generation of filmmakers in non-fiction formats.
The juried competition features films by current and recent graduates of higher education institutions nationwide with film and media studies training programs.
