USU Student Short Film Festival 2026

The Student Short Film Festival invites emerging filmmakers from every discipline to showcase their vision, craft, and originality on the big screen. Open to undergraduate and graduate students from all fields of study—from the sciences and humanities to the arts, engineering, education, and beyond—no prior filmmaking experience is required. Creativity, innovation, and thoughtful storytelling are what matter most. A panel of judges will review submissions and prizes will be awarded for Best in Category and Best in Show.

The opening event is a screening of Napoleon Dynamite, which will take place on the evening of Friday, April 24th at 7pm. The student films will then be screened at the Utah Theatre on Saturday, April 25th, beginning at 11am.

The event is open to the public, allowing all USU students, faculty, staff, and the entire Cache Valley community to come together in celebration of student creativity.
