ExFest 2019

  • MacLean Ballroom 112 South Michigan Avenue Chicago, IL, 60603 United States (map)

ExFEST is SAIC's biggest film festival made by students, for students! Awards and a showcase of video art made by SAIC student artists! Votes will be held to determine awards, and SAIC will help the winner submit their video to a festival of their choice!


A few months ago I stuck a video up here called "I Have a Sense" that I made at the School of the Art Institute during the second semester of my first year. I asked if I should submit it to a school film fest - and y'all said yes and so I did and then GUESS WHAT they accepted it! So, if you live in Chicago, come to ExFest this Friday at the Maclean Ballroom at 6pm (if you're not a student, let me know cause you gotta get checked in). There will be a student and a faculty panel to vote on the videos, and also an audience choice award. SAIC will help the winner submit their video to a festival of their choice! Crossing fingers! 

See "I Have a Sense" video below.
