Geneseo Insomnia Film Festival

Thank you for a fantastic 2017 GIFF! Pictures taken at the awards ceremony can be found on Flickr.

You have 24 hours to write, shoot, edit and post a 3-minute video… GO!

Your team will compete for prizes against other SUNY Geneseo students in an attempt to create the most witty, interesting, and creative video. This is a chance for students of all talents to flex their creative muscles and demonstrate their skills, whether they be writers, actors, videographers, or editors.

Rally the troops and get started!
