Student filmmakers will have a chance to showcase their work to a local crowd as part of the annual Blue & White Film Festival. The festival, held Saturday April 25 at 7 p.m. at the State Theatre, is run by the Penn State Student Film Organization, and is currently taking submissions on its website.

The festival is “Penn State’s largest showcase of student film work from the past year,” according to the PSSFO. It is also partially funded by student activity fee funds. Student directors can submit up to two entries per director. Submissions open Monday and close Wednesday, or as late as Saturday for an increased fee. Works shouldn’t be over 15 minutes long, and come with a $15 submission fee if turned in on time.

Here’s a clip of films from last year’s festival to hold you over until then:
