The Virginia Student Film Festival aims to establish a prestigious annual event celebrating the creativity, talent, and dedication of student filmmakers across the nation. Taking place on April 6th, 2025, at the historic Paramount Theater in Charlottesville, the festival will provide a platform to showcase over 15 short films, each under 20 minutes, during two screening blocks. Beyond the screenings, the event will immerse attendees in a day-long celebration of the arts, featuring a panel of student directors sharing their experiences and a reception similar to a red-carpet Oscars event. The evening will culminate in an award ceremony with live music, performances by UVA artistic organizations, and the presentation of 7 awards with cash prizes, including $1,000 for Best Picture and an award for best UVA production. By offering a unique and immersive experience, the festival seeks to highlight the impact of student films, inspire the next generation of creators, and foster a vibrant, collaborative, artistic community at UVA and beyond.
