Here is a group of festivals that students might consider entering – the FMMC department cannot speak to the quality of these festivals, but rather just offers links for students to consider. If FMMC majors are interested in submitting to this or other festivals, speak with the FMMC chair as we can help fund the entry fees.
The United Film Festivals are calling for your films! Film festivals are an excellent way for young filmmakers to gain exposure and to make contacts. We would like to encourage you to share the following with your student body!
About UNITED
The United Film Festivals are where art and creativity come together to create a united film community. Showcasing films which reflect a wide range of topics and experiences, the festival’s focus is to bring together talented filmmakers from diverse backgrounds, thus creating a “United” showcase of creative energy and talent.
The 6th annual Tulsa United Film Festival concluded our 2008 season which was our biggest and best one yet. So to continue the excitement we’re thrilled to announce that after two successful years of running United Film Festivals in Los Angeles & New York we are expanding again to include San Francisco, Chicago & London in 2009.. With this growth our rich tradition of screening humorous, touching and sometimes provocative films will be reaching a much wider audience. This is one film festival you won’t want to miss!
*This season we will be screening more films and an equal number of narrative & documentary feature length films.
