Cinefest 2023

Each year, Cinefest celebrates the hard work and creative talents of Fairfield University’s up-and-coming student filmmakers by screening an impressive line-up of original short films produced by students in the Film, Television, and Media Arts program. The films are selected by a jury of industry professionals, alumni and Fairfield faculty, who look for submissions with creative story lines and strong character development. Film screenings will be followed by our “Best of” awards ceremony. Free general admission. Sponsored by the Visual & Performing Arts Department, College of Arts & Sciences.
