Pinwheel Palooza Children’s Film Festival
The Pinwheel Palooza Children’s Film Festival is a one-day festival featuring short films by kids for kids presented by the Friends of the Salt Lake County Children’s Justice Center. It inspires creativity through filmmaking and encourages youth to use their imagination with an opportunity be seen on the big screen.
The pinwheel is a whimsical object that changes direction with the wind. It reminds us that those who have been through trauma, like a pinwheel, can stop, pivot, and change their course in life. This is a simple and powerful message.
