Each year for the past five years, our second-year students have created a film for the Clermont-Ferrand International short film Festival. This has been an important moment for these students because it is a team effort with everyone working to support the same film. It is also the first major project they see through from start to finish, conception to completion. As an added bonus, the film is in 3-D!
