Are you a student filmmaker at Palomar Community College? Do you have a short film you've been wanting to share? Then Palomar College Film Fest would love to screen your film!

We are proud to announce Palomar College's third annual Film Fest, where student filmmakers get to showcase their creativity. Come join us and see student filmmakers display their work and connect with fellow filmmakers!
PCFF was made to celebrate the talent of student filmmakers and to realize a space for community building. As students of Palomar's media studies program, we've seen the amazing work produced by our peers and wanted to craft an event that recognizes students' creativity and hard work. With this event we hope to spark excitement for the art of filmmaking, connect emerging filmmakers and enjoy great films!
