Lights, Camera, Action: Attend Up & Coming Student Film Festival at UCSD

The free Up & Coming Student Film Festival continues Thursday at UC San Diego's Calit2 Auditorium. The two-day event features docudramas, comedies, animations, and experimental shorts from graduate, undergraduate and alumni students from UC San Diego, along with high school students mentored by UCSD students.

The film festival will also feature cinema created in the spirit of collaboration through art, science, and technology, according to the university. 

"Participants will have the opportunity to experience a profound shifting of perspective through the utilization of cameras built by UCSD students that can fly and travel where no human can go," the university said. 

Several of these have been selected to screen as part of PBS’s internationally distributed Shorts Showcase series.
