S'not Narrative student video art festival
S'NOT NARRATIVE is a video art festival uniquely for BA and/or BFA students in Southern California . In the capital of mainstream film and media where traditional narrative rules, this festival provides a supportive, alternative venue for experimental works made by the young and unruly potential artists of tomorrow.
Supported by the Intercollegiate Media Studies program at the Claremont Colleges, S'NOT NARRATIVE promotes and respects experimental undergraduate work and gives credit where it's due. So whether you are a student looking to submit, or an arts enthusiast who wants to catch a glimpse of fame before anyone else, come on out to the Claremont Colleges on Saturday, April 26; It free, its fair, its fun- you can't go wrong.
