Greetings and welcome to CUFF – the City University Film Festival! Our goal is to bring CUNY students and faculty together for a celebration of films produced by CUNY students. The festival is a platform for publicity, peer review and a cultivator of creative collaboration. By submitting your film to CUFF, you are joining a community of ambitious, likeminded individuals who care about getting the most out of their college experience.
Though this is our first year, distinguished faculty from several CUNY campuses have already signed on to participate in the selection process. Representatives from the Mayor's Office of Film and Broadcasting, HBO, and the press have been put on the guest list.
This is your chance to shine, make a personal investment in CUNY and have CUNY give back to you. Macaulay Honors College will be hosting the event at the beautiful new center, 35 West 67th in Manhattan, featuring a state of the art screening room and Crystie projector.
So send us your film, cross your fingers and straighten the CUFFs on your tux, the City University Film Festival is finally here!
