Chicago International Film Festival Awards

Lam Nguyen won a Gold Award for his film entitled "Nostalgic", which he produced for a grade in one of our film production classes. Recently, two past Orange Coast College Film/Video projects, "In Love and War" by Will Gieger, and "Instaworld", by Inga Schumann, won Silver Awards in Chicago, both the same year. No other school won two awards at that year's festival event.

Our annual film festival occurs in mid May each year. This sellout event showcases the best of Orange Coast College Film/Video student projects produced within the previous year. OCC has put on this popular festival for over 35 years to standing room only crowds. This event is always open to the public, as well as current and past students, their families and friends. So, if you are interested in attending, either to see what our students do here or just to have an entertaining evening, please join us. 
 
OCC has also been given a showcase in the annual Newport Beach Film Festival, called "OCC SHORTS".  Please check our Special Events page for more information when it becomes available.
