UCLA Celebration of Cinema

Each year, the event honors distinguished filmmakers, actors, screenwriters, and scholars whose work has significantly influenced the industry. Past honorees have included visionaries from both Hollywood and the global stage, reflecting UCLA’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and artistic excellence.

A centerpiece of the event is the Student Film Showcase, where graduate and undergraduate filmmakers present their work to a live audience of peers, professors, and professionals. These films often go on to receive accolades at international festivals, underlining UCLA’s reputation as a training ground for the next generation of storytellers.
