Film and Media Studies
The Five College Film Council works to coordinate the study of film and video at all five campuses.
The members of the Council include faculty members drawn from a number of disciplines ranging from foreign languages to literature, history and media studies. They meet regularly to exchange information about courses as well as faculty appointments, and plan a coordinated approach to meeting common needs for instruction.
The Council sponsors an undergraduate film and media studies conference and an annual student film and video festival, both held during the spring semester.

The Five College Student Film Festival
The festival will be held virtually via Twitch this upcoming weekend. Come watch the amazing films and support the Five College community at this year’s festival! If you have any questions If you have any questions please feel free to email us or contact our Student Director Amparo Saubidet. You can keep up to date with the festival via our Facebook and Instagram.
Mission Statement
This year, as in many years past, the Five College Film Festival’s mission is to share the stories of students from across the Five Colleges through the medium of film. In line with last year’s theme and mission, we will be encouraging the submission of films that look critically at structural inequalities within any of the intersecting frameworks and identities of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, disability and or nationalism. We hope that all students, regardless of background or experience with filmmaking, share their stories.
