FMS Screening Series presents ‘From Festival to Campus’
Women on the Verge — A Tribeca Student Shorts Showcase
Cinema Studies alumna Madison Egan returns to campus for a special screening and conversation featuring four international student short films that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.
All four films are directed by women and explore young women coming into their own - standing on the verge of something larger than themselves, much like the students who created them.
Following the screening, Egan will discuss the importance of student shorts at major festivals, how filmmakers research and submit to festivals, and what programmers look for when selecting new voices.
Egan served as a Short Film Programmer at Tribeca, where she helped select emerging filmmakers from around the world. This program includes two films from each year she worked as a programmer (2024 & 2025), offering a rare look at how student work reaches one of the industry’s most influential festivals.
