GMU Presents the Mason Film Festival, May 7-9!

George Mason University’s Film and Video Studies Department is proud to present the Mason Film Festival, May 7-9! Free and open to the public! More information at favs.gmu.edu.

This three day program will represent the best of Beginning Video, Intermediate directing work in fiction, and Senior Films. Senior films are the culmination and capstone for Film and Video Studies majors in the BA – Video Production and Screenwriting Concentrations. Our Senior Program is juried by filmmaking professionals, film scholars, and enthusiasts made of members of our FAVS Advisory Board and affiliated faculty.

Included in this year’s program is a pitch competition – rising Seniors who are about to shoot their Senior Projects pitch to a jury of board members. The funds awarded are intended to help our students produce their films in the coming months.

Mark your calendars for a celebration of student film!
