A glimpse into the future of filmmaking, starring the innovation and talent of our very own UC San Diego students. This highly-competitive festival, selected by a panel of film industry professionals, always surprises with a broadspectrum of themes and styles. From darkly humorous to poignant, insightful, and simply beautiful, the Up&Coming Student Film Festival is a grab-bag of delights. What remains consistent from year to year is the stunning originality, both conceptually and technically, of these home-grown cinematic accomplishments.
