SCIS student filmmakers from both the Hongqiao and Pudong campuses were recently a part of the Shanghai Student Film Festival (S2F2), an opportunity for students to showcase their work in the world of film. Whether it’s documenting a restaurant or directing a music video, S2F2 provides an authentic avenue for students to highlight their talent(s) in front of an audience.
This time, our Upper School students took part in an 8 Hour Film Festival, where they were challenged to create a short film at an undisclosed location in just one day. Through this intense challenge, our filmmakers not only presented their creativity, teamwork, persistence, and communication but even took home some significant hardware!
Congratulations to all SCIS students! Check out the list of the S2F2 2023 Genre and Technical awards. Go Dragons!
