2021 Film, Video, New Media, Animation, and Sound Festival

 

Encounter the next generation of film, video, sound and new media artists as SAIC students present their thesis projects in this festival of innovative live-action shorts, animation, feature-length narrative and nonfiction works, and experimental pieces.

The festival will be hosted in collaboration with the Gene Siskel Film Center. A new program will premiere each night, Monday through Friday and be available to view for a week on the Gene Siskel Film Center’s Eventive platform.

The festival would not be possible without the incredible work of festival programmer Amy Beste; Casey Puccini, our festival producer; Trevor Martin and the rest of the Department of Exhibitions staff; Jean de St. Aubin, Andy Berlin, and the entire staff at the Gene Siskel Film Center; our graduate assistant Denny Mwaura; the FVNMA technical staff; Frédéric Moffet, chair of FVNMA, and all the faculty members who worked diligently with the students over the past many years; and, above all, to all the participating artists for their hard work and inspiring vision.
