Welcome to the 3rd edition of Global University Film Awards 2022!
Being envisioned as the “University Oscars”, GUFA is well recognised as the most celebrated international student event ever undertaken in Hong Kong. Our last GUFA in 2020 have received 2,503 submissions from 104 countries and regions globally. Both the Award Presentation Ceremony and screenings were held locally and internationally through online streaming. Submissions were received from over 1,000 tertiary educational institutions around the world, including Australia, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Mainland China, Malaysia, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, the UK and the US.
Building on its previous success, the 3rd edition of GUFA will open entries to young filmmakers around the world by accepting original language short films with English subtitles in various genres. We have also added a brand-new category of “Cine vfx” in order to encourage innovative works that incorporate creative usage of film technology. This extension signifies a key milestone for GUFA as an important cultural gateway and collaborative power bank amongst student talents, academics and industry on a wider geographical scope.
Besides short film competition and multiple screenings during the event, the forthcoming GUFA will also include a star stunned Award Presentation Night, master classes by renowned film makers and a pitching session with small prizes. Semi-finalists will be invited to participate in our virtual broadcasting of the event.
Mission
GUFA strives to encourage and recognise emerging filmmakers while at school or recently graduated; foster creative and cultural exchange among film students around the globe; and inspire synergy between regional young talents and the international creative industry.
GUFA is an opportunity and open platform for university students/fresh graduates to showcase talent, exchange ideas and foster networking.
