Chinese Film Fest

Harvard's Got Film Talent!

“the most entertaining two hours I had at Harvard this semester”
—Prof. Shigehisa Kuriyama, EALC Chair and Film Fest Judge

Every two years the Chinese Film Fest invites submissions from Harvard students studying Chinese. Awards are given in the categories of Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, and Best Song. The event has previously been sponsored by the Harvard Asia Center and the Harvard-Radcliffe Chinese Students Association. Over a hundred students, their fans, teachers, and judges gather in the Yenching Auditorium to cheer and celebrate outstanding student works. Harvard affiliates may view the winning entries by clicking on the links below (Google Drive) or by visiting this link (Sharepoint).
