The Cinesnaps Schools Program, part of the broader CinefestOZ Film Festival, is an annual initiative that encourages young, aspiring regional filmmakers in Western Australia to create and showcase original short films. Established in 2011, it is considered Australia's largest schools program held at a film festival, offering films, workshops, and discussions to students in the South West, Great Southern, and Kimberley regions. The program includes a short film competition for secondary students with a cash prize for older categories, and shortlisted submissions are screened at a grand finale event during CinefestOZ Festival week. Its aim is to foster cinematic talent among local youth and provide opportunities for engagement with Australian film industry professionals, encouraging the next generation of filmmakers and audiences.
