The International Youth Silent Film Festival challenges young filmmakers to create silent films to original theatre organ soundtracks composed by Nathan Avakian. Filmmakers 22 years old or younger choose one of ten three-minute scores provided by the IYSFF and create their film to go along with the music—reverse of the traditional film scoring process.
