Residents in Hayward and the rest of the Bay Area are looking forward to the 2017 Hayward Film Festival. The film brings together local filmmakers for an evening of cinematic exploration.
The fest was first started in 2015 by Community Multimedia Academy, as well as the Hayward Area Historical Society and the Bay Area Digital Arts. The goal was to provide students an outlet through which to share their creativity, tell their own stories, and further immerse themselves in the filmmaking world. No prizes are awarded at the event, rather the intention is to hold up all of the entries as unique contributions to the Bay Area and worthy of celebration.
Young directors were asked to submit films in categories such as documentary, animation, PSA, narrative, and experimental. Films had to be only six minutes in length, but excerpts from longer films could have been submitted to serve as Promotional Products. Entry was strongly encouraged for all students in Bay Area School District. At the festival itself, a selection roughly 20 different films will be shown, serving as a showcase of the most talented works.
The Hayward Film Festival will be held on Thursday, May 4th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Hayward Area Historical Society, located at 22380 Foothill Blvd. Admission is free to the public. Anyone looking for more information should visit the website.
