ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
We know you’re out there, just waiting for the opportunity to put your vision center stage, or in this case in the eye of the camera! The newly created UCONN STUDENT SHORT FILM FESTIVAL is seeking out cutting-edge young filmmakers that are interested in pouring their unique vision onto the screen. We are now accepting submissions for the inaugural festival in September 2016, in three categories: short fiction, documentary, and animation films. Let's start a creative movement, right here, right now (well, actually in September)! Send in your application today! The UConn Student Short Film Festival is open to all UConn students on all UConn campuses.
