The F&MAD Spring Showcase is a juried screening of films and media arts projects made by advanced undergraduate and graduate film students enrolled in the Film and Media Arts Department at the University of Utah.
The main goals of this event are:
- To create a professional screening environment for the students as a way of celebrating their achievements in film and media arts.
- To give students the opportunity to network with local film professionals and media artists.
- To recognize exceptional student work with jury prizes in various categories.
- To provide with insightful feedback to all of the works screened by the jury. For many students, this will be the first time their work has been peer-reviewed by a professional, so this becomes a valuable opportunity to receive feedback from a variety of film professionals.
Awards are decided by the jury based on the pool of films and media arts projects screened in the festival.
In the past, awards have ranged from "Best of Show" to "Best Graduate Student Film" or "Best Script", "Best Animation" among many others.
