UFVF/Kodak Student Filmmaking and Cinematography Grants
Emerging or unverified festival
The UFVF/Kodak Student Filmmaking and Cinematography Grants is a U.S.-based student awards program presented by the University Film and Video Foundation in partnership with Kodak, rather than a public film festival in the usual sense. It is notable for recognizing emerging collegiate filmmakers and cinematographers through cash and film-product grants, with submissions typically nominated by accredited film schools and judged on creative, technical, and academic merit. It is significant in the film festival circuit as a respected talent-spotting platform tied to the University Film and Video Association’s annual conference, helping launch student work into broader industry visibility.
