Presented by Brandeis University 

March 15 and 16

The 2008 SunDeis Film Festival will be March 15 and 16, 2008 in the Shapiro Campus Center of Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. The 5th Annual SunDeis Film Festival offers a forum for student filmmakers to showcase their work and interact with people who have succeeded in various sectors of the film industry, including many Brandeis University alumni. The festival will culminate with a star-studded red carpet awards ceremony on Sunday, March 16, that will honor the best in student films along with several prominent entertainers.

New for 2008:

This year at SunDeis, there will be three new and exciting opportunities for student filmmakers.  We are accepting unfilmed screenplays to be considered for a special category.  There will also be a 48-Hour Film.  At 5pm on March 7, we will post a number of requirements for a film (ie, a specific line, location, costume, etc) and students will have 48 hours to script, shoot and edit a film including as many of the requirements as possible.  It's kinda like a scavenger hunt! There is also a new category, Best Alternative Film, for films made with non-traditional equipment (ie, cell phone cameras) or anything else outisde the box.

 How to Submit Your Film:

The submission deadline for SunDeis 2008 has passed.  We hope you will submit a film next year!

If you are a business/vendor willing to donate a prize in return for extensive advertising on event materials, please email Rebecca Lehrhoff, Student Activities Advisor, at lehrhoff [at] brandeis [dot] edu.
