Welcome to the 54th Film Finals. A San Francisco State tradition for nearly half a century, Film Finals is the Cinema Department's annual showcase of jury selected films and the City's premiere student film festival.
Every entry will be screened and evaluated by a student-faculty jury, with audience voting totals taken into consideration. Those works earning the highest marks will go on to be showcased at the 54th Film Finals, to be held for the first time ever at the renowned Sundance Kabuki Theatre on Tuesday, May 20th at 7pm.
The evening will culminate with an awards ceremony where $5,000 in Cinema Department scholarships will be awarded. Nominations will also be announced for three department-sponsored awards.
SFSU Cinema continues to make its mark on the film industry, as alumni have earned Academy Award nominations (or wins) for 15 years straight! Film Finals/Previews provides a platform for these emerging leaders to exhibit their innovative work allowing the public to discover their talent, perhaps, for the first time. The 54th Film Finals will bring together students, faculty, administrators, cinephiles, and members of the public in celebrating SFSU Cinema and imagemakers of the future!
