SEQUIM — Students in Sequim Middle and High schools have created nine films for the 12th annual Student Film Festival and Art Show on Friday.
The films, which range from serious to comedic, will be screened at 7 p.m. in the Sequim High School auditorium at 601 N. Sequim Ave. An art show will precede the films at 6 p.m.
Admission is a suggested donation of $5.
Each short movie is screened beforehand to ensure content is appropriate for all ages, organizers said.
Judges select the top films, which receive $1,000 for first place, $750 for second place and $500 for third place from the Sequim Education Foundation, which sponsors the event and which has given more than $50,000 in awards since starting the festival.
