The 20th annual ‘Dusty Film and Animation Festival and Awards’ will highlight over
100 films by students graduating from the BFA Film, Video and Animation Department
at the School of Visual Arts (SVA).
The program includes screenings of short films, videos and animations; and an awards ceremony and gala with notable presenters from the film industry.
This year’s Screenwriters Night is a collaboration with the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in which SVA graduating screenwriters will have selected scenes performed live by alumni from the Neighborhood Playhouse.
“We are very pleased to have reached the 20th year of the Dustys as we recognize the outstanding achievement of emerging filmmakers, and members of the industry get the chance to see the work of the next generation of some remarkable film and animation talent,” said Reeves Lehmann, chair of the BFA Film, Video and Animation Department at SVA.
“We are thrilled with being able to present the full festival at SVA’s all-new state-of-the art Visual Arts Theater.”
Each year, film achievement awards are presented in the following categories: documentary, screenwriting, cinematography, editing, directing and outstanding film.
Animation achievement awards are presented for traditional, stop-motion, and experimental animation.
Previous award presenters have included Harvey Keitel, Danny Aiello, Sean Combs, Bryan Singer, Treat Williams, David Koepp, Wes Craven, Griffin Dunne, Bill Plympton, Tom Sito and Ellen Burstyn.
