The annual competition and celebration of college student filmmaking in the Greater Cincinnati region.
The College Movie Festival is Greater Cincinnati's long-running student filmmaking production celebration and competition. Students from participating colleges write, shoot, and edit movies with academic oversight for two and a half weeks. Then, three weeks later, the student filmmakers recevie feedback and network with area filimmaking professionals who have seen and made notes on the movies - receiving tips on making their movies better and exploring how the productions evolved. From there the movies are screened and select awards are presented at a professional movie theatre.
