The films will be shown during continuous screenings from 10AM to 5PM each day in the Student Center Theater on the WestConn Midtown campus, 181 White St. in Danbury.

Featured works will include both the retrospective of significant shorts spanning more than 10 years, and new films submitted for this year's festival by student producers at WestConn and other colleges nationwide.
