Film Submissions
The Center for Mexican American Studies and Research (CMASR) seeks notable short films – ranging from 10-45 minutes – for its Annual Conference. This conference will be held on March 22 – 24, 2012 on the campus of Our Lady of the Lake University, San Antonio, Texas.
The CMASR is committed to showcasing scholarly and creative work which contributes to a deeper understanding of the Mexican American experience. Presenters will address historical and contemporary issues in higher education, culture, and creative expressions relevant to the Mexican American people.
This year, “From Demography to Identity: Who We are in America” sessions will include research, scholarly and creative expressions reflective of a more relevant and visible presence of Mexican Americans in the U.S. The film Festival aims to enhance awareness and exposure to the experiences of both the Mexican American community and/or Mexican American filmmaker to independent cinema, media, and the motion picture industry.
Become a part of CMASR conference and present your short film to an eager audience. Submission of all types of film, both narrative and documentary, is encouraged. Both professional and student films are welcomed and will not directly compete with one another. If accepted, you will be invited to discuss your film.
Finally, there will be a prize competition for 1) Best film overall and 2) Best student film.
