For Guardian
Your Child’s Participation in the Planet Frame Youth Film Project
Planet Frame is an international youth film initiative inviting young people to create short video
essays, animations, and films about nature, ecology, culture, and the future of our planet.
The project does not require any previous film experience — just a desire to express ideas using a
phone, voice, and simple video tools.
Originally designed for ages 12–18, Planet Frame has now expanded eligibility to 12–22 in
order to give more opportunities to young talents worldwide.

Parental Consent for Artistic Participation
I, as the legal guardian of the participant, grant permission for their video submission to be used as
part of the Planet Frame project.
I understand and agree that the video may be edited, artistically stylized, and incorporated into a
short film including elements of sound design, glitch effects, atmospheric processing, and narrative
montage.
The final film may include ambient or emotionally intense scenes, as part of an artistic statement
about ecology and the future.
I acknowledge and approve of the possible inclusion of the video in film festivals, streaming
platforms, exhibitions, or artistic installations worldwide.
Why it matters

What kind of film is this?
Planet Frame is a youth-led, international short film project that explores ecological, cultural, and
emotional themes through real submissions from young filmmakers.
The final film may use artistic sound design, ambient music, and visual transitions to create an
expressive narrative.
While the style may be atmospheric or experimental (eco-horror, poetic realism), no violent or
traumatic content will be included.
All youth submissions are treated with respect and care, preserving their original message.
Thank you for supporting your child’s creativity and voice in this meaningful international project!
