In spite of Jennifer Aniston’s pitiful performance in The Bounty Hunter and James Cameron’s inexplicable Best Director Oscar loss for Avatar, we still have hope for the movie industry.

Arizona State University’s rising film stars will compete for cash and prizes at the 5th Annual Student Film Festival. The event features shorts created by ASU Film and Media Production program students that are hand picked by the faculty.

Audience members will see a wide range of short films, from documentaries to dramas to comedies to demo and cinematography reels, all of which explore a full range of the curriculum at ASU,” says program director F. Miguel Valenti.

Films under ten minutes are also eligible for the Audience Choice Awards, which are just like the Oscars -- minus the fame, glory, and cool statue.
