Congratulations and thank you to all our entrants, judges and sponsors for the 2022
Walnut Lane Film Festival!

Walnut Lane
Film Festival
The Walnut Lane Film Festival is a joint event where the Princeton Education Foundation and the Princeton Public Schools spotlight our talented Princeton Unified Middle School and Princeton High School students’ original short films. This is an unique opportunity for us to show how our students can express themselves through the images, words, and music they fuse into their short films. It shares with the community how middle and the high school have embraced the tools of technology and use media to communicate and learn in the 21st Century.
” If It Can Be Written or Thought, It Can Filmed”
