The Humboldt Film Fest is the oldest student-run film festival in the world, showcasing innovative cinema since 1967, the Summer of Love. We celebrate films that express fresh ideas and test cinematic boundaries. Films that show heart and purpose hold a greater value to this festival than attributes related to production value.

Prescreening VHS tapes / DVD's are kept for award-winning films, to be added to our archives.

Award winners will be selected by three guest judges and the co-directors during the festival. The award winners will be announced and the main category winners will be re-screened on the final screening night (Best of the Fest), as well as at promotional events for the festival.
