SFSU 50th Film Finals May 14, 2010

San Francisco State University's 50th Film Finals Event is taking place on Friday, May 14th at McKenna Theater located in the Creative Arts building. The Film Finals event showcases the work of students from SFSU's Cinema Department with programs in both Animation and Live Action shorts produced in the past school year.

The next wave of film begins at SF State. 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.
