About

Since 1935 City College of San Francisco has served the needs of the city in the truest populist tradition: 85,000 students spread across nine city-wide campuses. This multicultural and inter-generational community college is one of the largest in the country and has one of the most diverse student body and faculty found anywhere.

City College of San Francisco is home to a creative and growing Film Production Department. Created in 1968 as part of the Photography Department, the program became an independent academic department in the early 90’s. The Film Department is in the planning phase of expanding its facility, and looking forward to moving into a new Performing Arts Center on campus. In the meantime the department continues to develop course offerings and stay current with new technologies.

In response to the high quality films being produced in the department, faculty helped launch City Shorts * the City College of San Francisco Student Film Festival. Running for the last 6 years, the City Shorts features films in every genre from a wide variety of makers. Students play a large part in the festival, organizing everything from posters to the judging process.
