Film Program Announces 2009 Student Film Fest

For the third year, the annual Pacific Union College Student Film Fest will be held at the historic Cameo Cinema in St. Helena. Giving PUC student filmmakers a chance to show their up-and-coming work in the community, the festival will feature multiple short films in a variety of genres, from documentary and "mockumentary" to drama and even some trailers for next year's films.

The festival is hosted by the film and television program of PUC's visual arts departments, which has recently seen its students recognized with film awards from National Geographic Channel and SONScreen, with another student completing a prestigious internship with DreamWorks Animation. The festival will showcase addition PUC film talent on Thursday, June 4, with showings at 5:30 and 8:15 p.m. Tickets are available at the door, $3 for students and $5 for adults. The Cameo Cinema is located at 1340 Main Street in St. Helena. For more information, call 707-965-6308.
