Overview
The UConn Student Television (UCTV) Film Festival is an annual event showcasing student films from colleges and universities, with a particular focus on celebrating the creative endeavors of emerging filmmakers. Established by UCTV, the University of Connecticut's student-run television station, the festival provides a platform for students to exhibit their work, receive feedback, and network with industry professionals. It aims to foster connections between UConn and other Connecticut institutions while offering an engaging alternative to traditional guest speaker events for students.
