Our Mission Statement


The UAT Digital Video Festival was founded by the faculty of the Digital Video Program at the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, Arizona, out of a desire to foster creative dialogue and competition among student digital filmmakers at UAT and at schools and institutions worldwide. With a focus on innovation in the use of digital technologies to tell stories, the UAT DV Festival seeks short film submissions (15 minutes and under) from middle school, high school, and undergraduate college students working in the following genres: Science Fiction and Fantasy; Fan Film; Science and Technology; Animation; and Visual Effects. Professional filmmakers who are working on the cutting-edge of digital filmmaking will also be encouraged to submit their works under our "Innovator" category.

Selected films will be screened on our campus in Tempe, Arizona, during our annual Tech Forum event in November. Screenings and Q&A's will also be streamed live - so filmmakers and film lovers from every corner of the globe may participate even if unable to travel to Arizona. Participating filmmakers will be web-conferenced into the event for Q&A with our audience.
