Now in its tenth year, the UNT Media Arts Festival is including the works of North Texas student filmmakers! This two-day event will include student film screenings, and panels with professionals, culminating in a competitive student block and awards ceremony.

Our goal is to provide a platform for UNT students and local Denton High school filmmakers to show their work. We want to create a festival that not only the UNT Media Arts program can be proud of, but also UNT and the city of Denton.

The festival features four separate student competitions:

  • Short Film
  • Documentary Film
  • Screenwriting
  • Mixed Media/Music Videos/Audio
  • News/Promo
  • High School Student Film

With broadly set categories, we hope to put together a program that encompasses a variety of genres, mediums, experiences, and cinematic journeys. All UNT and Denton high school student filmmakers are encouraged to submit work.
