Student film makers from a dozen Long Island schools came to Locust Valley High School on March 30 for the 17th Annual Film Festival to showcase their creative projects.
Judges with industry experience including directing segments for “Sesame Street” and screen credits for “A Beautiful Mind,” “Sex and the City” and “Spin City” joined the students in the auditorium during the school day watched the 77 films in the fields of animation, comedy, commercial, documentary, drama, music video, public service announcement and trailer. Judges awarded the drama project “Tides” top honors, sending the film to the Long Island International Film Expo in July. Students also got to vote on their favorite project.
The Locust Valley High School Parents’ Council provided refreshments outside the auditorium to add to the theater experience.
