Harvard-Westlake Film Festival Supports Kid Flicks

The objective of the festival is to honor excellence in student filmmaking, and it is open to all California high‐school students in grades 9 through 12. The theater was filled for this year’s show, which opened with a conversation between Oscar-nominated directors Kathryn Bigelow and Jason Reitman ’95 (a few weeks after Bigelow had won an Oscar for her work on the film The Hurt Locker).

This year’s festival directors decided to incorporate philanthropy into the evening. Attendees were asked to bring used or new DVDs appropriate for children and donate them to Kid Flicks
