Virginia Film Festival

Best of Film at Mason, formerly known as the Best of Favs Program at GMU, returns for a third year to present a selection of recent notable and award-winning films from students in the Film and Video Studies Program at George Mason University. From heartfelt narrative films to poignant documentary shorts, this program celebrates the diversity of cinematic storytelling. These students find inspirations in a wide variety of stories, including a teenage boy dealing with severe ADHD, the magical place where our lost socks go, and a music-loving janitor. Discussion with filmmakers, program director Giovanna Chesler (GMU), assistant professor Lisa Thrasher (GMU), and assistant program director Rebekah Mejorado (GMU)
