Bijou Festival

Bijou Fest is the School of Film/Video’s end-of-year film festival that screens any and all work submitted, made by Film/Video students during the 2020/21 and 2019-20 school year! For the entire week leading up to graduation (May 10-14) we will have an online stream of fantastic, wonderful, strange films, class screenings, and performances. This year’s Bijou Fest is programmed & organized by faculty advisor Ryan Betschart and a team of students from his Navigating Film Festivals course. Give us your work!

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS*:

*In no way will screening at Bijou Fest hurt film festival premiere status. Works screened within a school setting are considered works-in-progress regardless of how completed they are. For more information on submission status email: bijoufestival@calarts.edu

DATES: May 10th-14th
  • Lineups will be revealed the first week of May/The week before Bijou Fest
