The Film Program of Columbia University's School of the Arts proudly congratulates its students, alumni, and faculty whose films have been selected for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Amongst the lineup are an amazing mix of students, faculty and alumni in prestigious sections of the festival ranging from the U.S. Dramatic Competition, The World Cinema Dramatic Competition, American Short Film Competition, NEXT, and Premieres.
Considered one of the world's top festivals, Sundance is no stranger to Columbia; our filmmakers have dominated the lineup with stunning regularity year after year. Capping off the festivities is our annual Columbia/Sundance Kickoff party on main street in Park City, Utah.
