City Shorts stands out as one of the most unique film festivals in the Bay Area showcasing work from one of the most prolific cinema production schools in San Francisco. The festival has screened early work by award-winning filmmakers such as Jim Granato, Joe Talbot (Last Black Man in San Francisco), Tina Takemoto (PhD, Experimental film and comedy improv), David Weisman, (Emmy-winning documentary maker), Sam Berliner (Seattle Film Fest), Amy Hicks, and Muayad Alayan (Palestinian films), to name just a few of our successful students working professionally in the film industry.
You are invited to experience the spirit of Bay Area independent filmmaking while raising funds for two vital institutions in San Francisco. The City College of San Francisco's Cinema Department nurtures talented filmmakers from the ground up, with a curriculum that covers everything from film studies to advanced cinematography, experimental filmmaking and directing. CCSF student films have screened around the world after premiering at City Shorts. Students compete for prizes donated by BAVC, JCX Expendables, LittleGiant, MasterClass, San Francisco Cinematheque, BAMPFA, The Roxie and MORE, ensuring this is just the beginning of their film production career. Recipients of the John Carlson Experimental Filmmaking Scholarship, Dina Ciraulo Filmmaking Scholarship and Doug Punsalan Memorial Scholarship will be announced at the event.
We are pleased to announce this year's jurors include City College Cinema Department Alumni Behrang Garakani (Columbia University) along with Joao Federici (MIXBrasil and Mill Valley Film Festival), Lex Sloan (Executive Director of the Roxie) and Michele McKenzie (Emmy® Award winning archival researcher and CCSF Media Librarian).
