FILM SEASON
FILM UNO in the School of the Arts hosts a student run film festival. The mission of the festival is to give the students an opportunity to screen their work in an authentic theatrical environment and compete in a judging festival at no cost. It allows students a place to invite cast, crew as well as friends and family to see their films. Students get to learn how to put on a festival, including admission of films, organization of the festival, the technical aspect of building a festival screening schedule and using a 4K projector and server, soliciting prizes and sponsorships, promotion of the festival to viewers and well as filmmakers, operations of a concession stand, using social media and other internet platforms. Free and open to the public the festival looks to engage film fans in the larger 海角论坛 area. It is also a chance to invite high school students to experience a free event and see student work and what the UNO Film program has to offer. In addition to the film festival the Film department also hosts a directors screening series which invites prominent film directors and producers to come screen new works and speak about their process to the community and UNO Film students.
