Mission Statement

Columbia University Film Festival (CUFF) is excited to bring five days of dynamic programming highlighting the thesis work of the Film MFA Program. We are having the screenings on campus at the Lenfest Center for the Arts. Join us for Screenwriting Night which will open our festival at Playwright’s Horizons, and Awards Night will close the festival at the Paris Theater to acknowledge the winning films. 

Not only are we offering these in-person events and screenings, we are also offering a chance to watch the films virtually on the Eventive platform. Tickets for Screenwriting Night, Awards Night, and a virtual screening pass are all $15.
