About the Film Festival

For fifteen years, the Annual Canyons District Film Festival has been celebrating the creative spirit and artistic excellence of our educational community. This cherished tradition brings together students and teachers to showcase their filmmaking talents across multiple categories including Short Film, Documentary, Animation, PSA, Newscast, Podcast, and QuickShorts.

The festival welcomes participants from all educational levels – Elementary, Middle, and High School students, as well as Teachers – providing a unique platform for everyone to share their artistic vision. Whether it’s a class project that deserves a wider audience or an original creation made specifically for the festival, we embrace all forms of storytelling through film. Students can also participate in our Film Festival poster contest, adding another creative dimension to this celebration of visual arts.

Join us on May 7th, 2025, at Union Middle School for our 15th annual celebration. We invite nominees, administrators, teachers, families, friends, and everyone in the Canyons School District community to be part of this inspiring showcase of talent. Come experience the magic of storytelling through the eyes of our creative community and witness firsthand how the art of filmmaking continues to flourish in our district.

Lucie Chamberlain

Alta View Elementary

If a movie about super teachers were ever made, Lucie Chamberlain would be a prime candidate for a leading role. Fortunately for her kindergarten students at Alta View Elementary, she already thrives in a supporting role for them. Parents thank her for being a “super teacher.” She is also described as an “amazing colleague.” Whether students need help in the classroom or from home while sick, Lucie goes above and beyond to help them learn, overcome fears, and feel important and cared for. Lucie is the reason a number of kids went from hating school to loving it, according to parents. The way she exudes patience, sweetness, positive energy, and love for her students with special needs melts is appreciated and admired. One parent noted: “Both my kids wish she could be their teacher forever.” Another added:  “She treats every student like their learning and their feelings are her priority.” Super teacher, indeed!
