More than 25 years of cinematic excellence
Since its inception, the SCAD Savannah Film Festival has welcomed acclaimed films and illustrious guests to the Hostess City of the South. Throughout its more than 25-year history, the SCAD Savannah Film Festival has connected student filmmakers and film enthusiasts alike with actors, directors, industry insiders, and the below-the-line talent responsible for the year's most talked-about films.
"If you're an aspiring filmmaker, you should have your eyes on SCAD and the beautiful city of Savannah."
