Student films will be judged in three categories: narrative, documentary and experimental. A separate category is reserved for works created by faculty, staff and alumni.
Films cannot exceed a length of 15 minutes, and should be submitted on either a digital video cassette or DVD to Keith Houk, clinical assistant professor of communication, in Room 101 of the UH Communication Building.
A jury of Houston film experts not affiliated with the university will screen submissions and offer awards to the top three finalists in each category.
"I know there are many amateur filmmakers here on campus who would love to share their work with others," Houk said. "This will be a fun experience for everyone participating and for those who have a chance to view the finished products later this semester. It's the perfect event to showcase the talent here on campus."
In addition to being screened at a campus location, the films also will be placed online.
