The Videoactive Film Festival is part of a partnership developed by Towson University, Kids On the Hill, and Digital Harbor High that brings students together to discuss how media can be used to raise social awareness about community, national, and global issues. This partnership fosters interaction between high school and college students who are pursuing degrees and careers in film. A shared interest brings the three groups of students together, while each learns from and is inspired by the others.
The purpose of the Towson University/Kids On the Hill/Digital Harbor High School Media Partnership, and the purpose of the Videoactive Film Festival, is: to foster connections, understanding, and the ability to relate between participants, to promote activism and change through discussions of social issues and the use of media and art in affecting positive change.
