Back

[SAN FRANCISCO, CA, AUGUST, 2009] - The Digital Filmmaking & Video Production department at The Art Institute of California- San Francisco proudly presents the first annual Virgins & Rejects Film Festival. The festival is open to all filmmakers who have either never submitted their films to a festival before or have been rejected from a previous festival and are still trying to get their film screened.

The Virgins & Rejects Film Festival provides an opportunity for those in the Bay Area - and beyond - to showcase their work on the big screen. In addition, the film festival is an opportunity for beginning filmmakers to expose their work to a broader audience and get some recognition and feedback on their films.

"In the Digital Filmmaking & Video Production program, it's all about real world experiences," says Lexi Leban, Academic Director of Digital Filmmaking & Video Production. "The students are curating and exhibiting a film festival in the best indie film city in the US. As a result, they are creating an opportunity for up and coming filmmaker to find an audience for their work."

Submissions can be of any genre, and should range in length from 1-10 minutes. A full list of submission guidelines can be found at the official Virgins & Rejects website.
