Carleton's Student-Produced Film Festival

The 2013 Golden Schillers Festival is the eleventh annual student-produced short film festival held at Carleton College. The festival began in 2002 as DVDFest with nine films, and has grown to be one of the highest-attended and most-anticipated events during Winter term on the Carleton campus. The largest festival was in 2006 with 37 films submitted.

All Carleton students are encouraged to submit their creations. The growth and development of the Festival inspired reflection about what we want this festival to be at Carleton—an arena for any student who wants to make a film, regardless of major or prior experience. Students can experiment with cameras, editing, and showcase their film to the Carleton community.

This year the event will be held on Friday, February 15, 2013 (7th week) at 8:00 p.m., location TBA. Please check back for more information on the 2013 submission process which will be available early Winter Term.

In past years, the festival was put on by the Carleton Macintosh User Group and sponsored by Apple. Since then the festival has grown to encompass student-made films which employ any and all software, and Student Activities and PEPS have kept the tradition alive.

If you have any questions, please contact the Student Activities Office in Sayles 160 or email Hannah Rothblatt, Art & Film Program Assistant at rothblah@carleton.edu.

Happy film making!
