* SAVE THE DATE * SFSU 50th Film Finals- MAY 14, 2010

The next wave of film begins at SF State. Join us for the celebration of the 50th Film Finals. Scores of innovative independent filmmakers and future Academy Award winners work nonstop to get their films accepted to this annual juried screening. Be the first to see these emerging filmmakers at the Bay Area’s premier college cinema event.

While digital film has sparked a technology revolution, students also shoot and edit on celluloid, providing images and sounds impossible to duplicate. Shorts in animation, experimental, documentary, drama and film noir genres dominate the Film Finals, with many moving on to festivals worldwide.
