Mission Statement

The 37th annual Miloš Forman / Mike Hausman Columbia University Film Festival (CUFF) is excited to bring five days of dynamic programming highlighting the thesis work of the MFA Film Program. Our festival will open with Screenwriting Night on Thursday, May 15th, at the Lenfest Center for the Arts, followed by three days of screenings at the same location. The festival will close with Awards Night, which will acknowledge the winning films, at the Paris Theater. 

On top of 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.
