Film on a Shoestring
The theme for the 2010 festival has been announced!
From experimental art to documentary films, past festival submissions have ranged from narrative to abstract. In choosing a theme for this year, we wanted to find something that united all submissions. And what does all student film have in common? Zac Fabian, Operations Director, puts it bluntly: Basically no money.
"Film on a Shoestring" will celebrate high caliber film produced on a student budget. Read more.
Dates Set:
Mark your calendars for April 9 - 11: A weekend of films, panels, and parties that celebrate the art of filmmaking, student-style.
Sponsor the Festival
VASFilm is also looking for sponsors to fund the promotion and operation of the event. Please visit the Sponsor section for more information.
