We are now taking student applications for attending the Sundance Film Festival! Apply here.

In January 2020, selected George Fox students are traveling to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The Sundance Film Festival is widely regarded as the most prestigious annual showcase for new work from American and international independent filmmakers. 

Along with the Sundance Festival, George Fox students will also be attending the Windrider Forum, a venue for conversations about the intersection of faith and film.

We are tentatively scheduled to attend from Jan. 26 to Feb. 1. Attending students will be required to notify professors in advance of anticipated absences, and create appropriate academic work plans. Personal costs for students will be approximately $975 (not including food and incidentals), depending on airline and lodging costs.

You do not need to be a cinematic arts or communication major to attend. Applications from all full-time undergraduate students will be considered, but we will be limited to traveling with approximately 10 to 12 selected students.

Further questions? Contact Steve Classen, chair of the Department of Communication and Cinematic Arts, at sclassen@georgefox.edu.

Faculty, please let your students know about this opportunity.
