The UT Department of Radio-Television-Film and the Moody College of Communication are delighted to present the fourth annual RTF Denius Longhorn Showcase, which features some our best recent student films. The program represents the rich diversity of our filmmakers' styles and includes narratives, documentaries, animated and experimental shorts.
“Every year, this celebration of student films features young filmmakers who go on to national and international prominence,” said Paul Stekler, RTF department chair. “Our filmmakers have screened at Venice, Sundance, Toronto, Dubai and other major festivals, where they have received critical acclaim. They got started in screenings right here in Austin. I encourage everyone to come out and see the filmmakers who’ll find similar success in the future and who will continue to fuel the film industry in Texas.”
The Longhorn Film Showcase is sponsored by Beth and Wofford Denius and the Cain Foundation, with contributions from R&R Partners David Weeks and Suzanne Hofmann Erickson; Susan Dirks; and Ron Standifer.
