I.E.M.A 2017 6TH ANNUAL STUDENT FILM FESTIVAL
What is the I.E.M.A. Student Film Festival?
The IEMA Student Film festival is an opportunity for high school, community college, and university
students to present their films and/or videos to a wider audience. It’s a celebration of our local
filmmakers.
Who will see my film?
All accepted films will be screened at the SBVC campus on Friday, May 19 starting at 7:00 p.m. In
addition to being presented to a live audience, submissions may be aired on the RTVF student television
station on the Internet.
Who can submit a film?
Any student enrolled in a high school, community college, university undergraduate or graduate
program at the time of production may submit (Spring 2016 graduates are eligible). The person
submitting the film must have had a major creative role in the production of the film/video, and a
faculty member must approve the submission. The film does not have to have been produced as part of
a class project.
How do I know if my film is eligible?
The film must have been written, produced, and directed by students enrolled in a high school,
