USU Student Short Film Festival 2026
The Student Short Film Festival invites emerging filmmakers from every discipline to showcase their vision, craft, and originality on the big screen. Open to undergraduate and graduate students from all fields of study—from the sciences and humanities to the arts, engineering, education, and beyond—no prior filmmaking experience is required. Creativity, innovation, and thoughtful storytelling are what matter most. A panel of judges will review submissions and prizes will be awarded for Best in Category and Best in Show. There will also be an Audience Choice Award voted for by attendees at the festival. Whether you are an aspiring director, an experimental media creator, a documentarian, or simply a student with a unique story to tell, this festival offers the perfect platform to share your work with a broader audience. Open to all USU undergraduate and graduate students! The submission deadline is MARCH 27. Use the website below to submit your work.
