The Vanderbilt Student Film Festival is the one-of-a-kind premiere film competition at Vanderbilt, dedicated to growing Vanderbilt’s film community, as well as promoting film appreciation and student work in a competitive, open-minded environment. The Festival, 1 Minute Horror Film Contest, and awards ceremony will take place on February 26th followed by an Oscars viewing party.

VSFF was started six years ago by the Office of the Dean of Students. It features exclusively Vanderbilt students’ work. For the first three years, the Festival screened all work that was submitted, in a non-competitive environment. However, that was changed two years ago when Professor Jonathan Rattner joined the Film Studies Program Faculty. Professor Rattner spearheaded the initiative to make the festival student-run and competitive. This is the third year that the festival has been planned and conceptualized by a student committee.
