Student Film Festival

The FCC Student Film Festival is an annual film fest hosted by the Film & Video Production Program. Students who are enrolled or have taken a class in the program have the unique opportunity to screen their work in the festival amongst family, friends, and the community. It’s a night of artistic expression via stories created by our very own students.
