COMING SOON! F&MAD Film Festival!!! May 2, 6pm, FMAB Cinema

The F&MAD Film Fest is a juried screening of human-made films and media arts projects created by advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Film & Media Arts at the University of Utah. The festival showcases projects developed within the department’s curriculum, including narrative, documentary, hybrid, and experimental forms of lens-based media and animation. At its core, the event celebrates artist-driven work grounded in authorship, collaboration, and filmmaking practice, highlighting projects created by emerging filmmakers as they develop their creative voices.

The festival also serves as a celebration of the creativity and dedication of students working in film and media arts at the University of Utah. Presented in a professional screening environment, the program gives filmmakers the opportunity to share their work with an audience and experience their films as part of a curated public event.

See you there!
