The Georgia State University Student Film Festival is an annual showcase of films written, produced and directed by current film and media majors and MA production students. The goal is to highlight the best and brightest creative offerings produced during that academic year. Selected films are chosen to compete in a Juried Competition for four awards: Best Documentary, Best Fiction, Best Experimental and Special Jury Prize. Each winning filmmaker will receive a $250 prize.

 All films submitted are screened and reviewed by a committee of FMT professors who will select a final 75-minute program of the top films. These films will be screened publicly at the Rialto Center and in a Juried Competition for four awards: Best Documentary, Best Fiction, Best Experimental, and Special Jury Award.  The awards will be announced at the end of the screenings.
