About the Festival

The Princeton Student Film Festival has been sponsored by the library since 2003 and provides young filmmakers the venue and opportunity to screen their work. In addition to having their films viewed by a broad audience, filmmakers receive lively feedback and appreciation.

There is no admission charge to attend the screenings, which are intended for a teen and adult audience.
