The National 4-H FilmFest (or Film Festival) is held each year in August in Branson, Missouri with 4-H’ers from across the U.S. attending. In addition to the competitive film festival categories – all strictly for youth – like any major film festival there are screenings, and workshops lead by film industry professionals and much more. National 4-H FilmFest is sponsored by Missouri 4-H and the University of Missouri.

Beginning in 2013, a new category was added to the FilmFest – Voices of 4-H History. The category and awards are sponsored by the National 4-H History Preservation Program. This brings the total number of film categories in 4-H FilmFest to a total of five:

• Narrative
• Animation
• Documentary
• 4-H Promotional
• Voices of 4-H History
