Mr. Viscardi has done it again this year. He has once again created a showcase for the magnificent student film makers of York Prep with the 2021 YP Film Festival. Please click here to watch all of the films!
The films range in subject matter from the heightened emotions of quarantine to the skillful mastery of card shuffling to a little friendly competition that gets pushed to the limit. There is even an homage to the cutest little hero that ever lived (in a backyard). You will experience shock, laughter, happiness-the full range of emotions while viewing the films. But most of all, you will be thoroughly impressed by the students’ work.
