Over the ten years of STIFF, more than five hundred student and debut films from around the world have been screened. By showcasing the work of fellow filmmakers, our film program encourages the exchange of ideas and cross-border collaboration in film, video, and animation.
This year’s film program in competition presents thirty-three films from twenty countries. The nine program blocks provide a glimpse into the selected films as rich and playful blends of documentary, animated, feature, and experimental film works.
