Are you interested in working in film? If so, we wanted to share a great opportunity with you. Participating in a program like this is not only educational, it’s also a great resume builder and a chance to network with industry professionals.
Santa Barbara International Film Festival’s Annual Film Studies Program is approaching. SBIFF offers this three-day symposium open to all undergraduate students from around the United States. The program emphasizes film appreciation, criticism, and analysis. Lead by SBIFF sanctioned film educators, participating students experience a packed program with access to SBIFF’s many events and opportunities, including:
- The opportunity to view some of the 200+ films with priority access.
- Attend the highly acclaimed Panel Series, where notable industry professionals come together for discussions spanning directing, producing, writing and women in the business.
- Hear guest filmmakers participate in intimate Q&A sessions.
- Partake in private sessions with filmmakers and national media professionals in a classroom environment.
- Experience the red carpet at one of SBIFF’s Tribute Events – an hour and a half of raw conversation about the honoree’s career.
