Student Award Showcase Fall 2021
On Monday September 13th, join the CU Cinema Studies department in celebrating the winners of the Grillo Awards from the Spring 2021 production courses! Come out and support your classmates and fellow filmmakers. Show starts at 7:00pm in the VAC 1B20 auditorium. Admission is Free.
The award is made possible with funds from the Arts and Cultural Enrichment Fee.
The Grillo awards are designed to encourage excellence in filmmaking and help defray some of the expenses required to pursue a degree in film production. A total of up to $17,000 of Grillo funds is distributed each year to four tiers of production students. Final recipients and individual award amounts will be determined each semester by in-class student votes and a panel of judges made up of CU Cinema Studies faculty and outside professionals. A selection of award-winning films will be shown one night only.
The Grillo Awards are drawn from a University of Colorado Foundation fund set up in the early 1990s by Virgil Grillo (1938-1994), the founder and former Director of the CU Film Studies Program, whose dedication and vision helped shepherd Film Studies from its modest beginnings in the 1970s to an undergraduate program with some 600 students.
Please come and join us!
