Presented by the URBAN-15 Group, the Josiah Media Festival is one of few film festivals around the world dedicated to showcasing outstanding works by artists 21 years old and younger.

The 19th JMF will accept film submissions from May 1st – August 1st, 2025.

The festival presents a career-defining opportunity for young media artists to showcase their work around the world. The festival was founded in 2007 in honor of San Antonio filmmaker Josiah Miles Neundorf by his parents, Marcus and Nancy Neundorf, who collaborated with URBAN-15 to create this event.

Now in it’s 19th year, JMF not only streams globally, but has grown to screen films submitted from all around of the world.
