The Bluffs Film Festival and Premiere May 5th 2024

The UCCS Communication Department Presents

The 2024 Bluffs Film Festival

What is The Bluffs Film Festival?

The Bluffs Film Festival—Bluffs Fest for short—is a celebration of Colorado filmmakers and their work. Created to showcase the work of UCCS digital filmmaking students, Bluffs Fest highlights the premiere of the award-winning student-produced TV show, "The Bluffs". Now in its second year as a standalone film festival, Bluffs Fest welcomes all UCCS filmmakers and members of the Colorado community to share their cinematic visions. Our mission is to empower and uplift creatives of all backgrounds and experience levels, fostering artistic expression and collaboration.

Bluffs Fest is part of UCCS Film Week (April 28th - May 5th). Kicking off with the VAPA’s UCCS Student Short Film Festival on April 28th and culminating in the exhilarating Bluffs Film Festival on May 5th, Film Week promises an unforgettable cinematic experience for all who attend. Both events are held at The Ent Center for the Arts.

The Bluffs Film Festival is free and open to the public, and there is no fee to submit your film.
