To nurture and promote the work of young filmmakers from around the world, the Festival presents the Youth Filmmaker Showcase, a juried show of international youth-made films. At PCFF, young people have a voice from beginning to end. At most youth-focused film festivals, children only serve on award juries, but PCFF's Film Selection Jury includes young film enthusiasts ages 5 to 17 who have a unique opportunity and responsibility: selecting the Festival program from among hundreds of films submitted each year.

PCFF film listings include recommended ages, whether a film has subtitles, notes on thematic elements, and descriptions of potentially challenging content, to help parents and educators make informed decisions about what their children see and to provide context for discussions. PCFF's Get Reel! Field Trip program offers students the chance to experience thought-provoking film programs during special screenings at the Festival or throughout the school year. Get Reel! Screenings are available for grades K-12 and include post-screening Q&As and discussion guides for teachers. With PCFF Cinema Passports in hand, young film goers travel on the magic carpet of film, learning about other countries, cultures and worlds.
