For Guardians

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.

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!
