Film Production Emphasis: Steeped within the tradition of independent film , the film curriculum integrates hands-on production and film studies within a liberal arts education to foster storytellers who can artfully express well-developed and substantive ideas. All aspects of the program stress professionalism with an emphasis on quality shared between collaborative and creative processes. The film program utilizes a combination of traditional 16mm film and digital technologies. We have re-photography facilities, a sound studio, on-site 16mm and Super-8 telecine capabilities, and digital post-production studios with film matchback capabilities. Basic pre-production, production and postproduction skills are taught with emphasis on documentary, narrative and experimental forms. Students finance their own films but there are production funds available for certain class projects. During the fall and spring semesters students can apply for answer print funds used to bring 16mm films to completion for festivals and distribution. A major offering of the Department is the Annual Humboldt Film Festival, produced and organized by students. The festival is the oldest student-run film festival in the world. Started in 1967, this annual Spring showcase brings to the University and Humboldt County a week of exciting activities. There are workshops with professional filmmakers, screenings of international filmmakers' recent works, and opportunities for individual sessions with visiting artists. The festival is a juried competition attracting films from around the world. There are many opportunities for student involvement in the festival, including several paid positions for festival student co-directors. View more details on Humboldt State University .
