Any Malone Students! The film festival is open to films produced by the Communication Department and any other films created by Malone College students. If accepted to the festival, your film will be eligible for awards, regardless of how the film got made. For more details about festival submissions see the Open Frame Blog.
This year, the Open Frame will be juried by a special panel of invited jurors uniquely qualified to recognize the merits of student films. In the past our jury has included independent filmmakers, film educators, writers, actors and film insiders working in Hollywood Studios. Ten awards will be given this year, based on the unique merits of this year’s films. Previous awards have included: Best Cinematographer, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Sound, Best Original Score, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Film, and Best Alternative Film. Films will also be eligible for the Audience Award.
