Dear Students, Friends, & Family
We are thrilled to present the FAV Senior Degree Projects and celebrate the amazing work of the FAV class of 2025!
Each of these projects has been brought to life from the artist’s vision, commitment, and passion. However, none of them would exist without the collaborative efforts and unwavering support of fellow students, faculty members, staff, friends, and family.
Last fall, each senior began work on their degree project. This year-long process is a rollercoaster of growth, setbacks, circuitous paths, flashes of joy, and moments of clarity. These experiences have shaped each artist and their work.
As one of FAV’s professors said, “Cinema lives through us.” By experiencing these works together, you, the audience, become more than just observers. You are an important part of bringing the films to life and the artists’ journeys.
On behalf of the FAV faculty and staff, I congratulate these seniors, and thank you for joining our celebration by watching their wonderful films!
