Think of what you could accomplish in eight minutes: You could answer emails, wash the dishes, play a hand of poker, make a sandwich, run a mile or watch a movie. That’s right – watch a movie!
Once again, the After Hours Film Society imposed a length of 8 minutes or less on films entered into their Student Film Festival. Emerging filmmakers from around the world responded to the society’s “call for artists” announced last fall and submitted their original productions for consideration in the society’s 13th annual event.
Festival organizers were impressed with the diversity of films received. Entries from across the nation and as far reaching as Australia, China, and New Zealand will be evaluated by a team of judges. The jurors will meet to screen, dissect, analyze and rank each film based on age level (grammar, high school, undergraduate and graduate) and category (fiction, non-fiction and animation/experimental). Those films receiving the highest ratings will be compiled into a special program that will be presented to the public at the After Hours Film Society’s “Say It In Eight” Student Film Festival at the Tivoli Theatre.
From live action to experimental, this year’s winning films promise to challenge and entertain. Here is your chance to peek inside the mind of the next generation of filmmakers. Why not treat yourself to this captivating and inspiring event? Your support could make a difference!
