UNIVERSAL ACCLAIM

⭐️ UNIVERSAL ACCLAIM

“In some cases, what the filmmaker thought would be the most interesting part, wasn’t.”

- Reyhan Harmanci, THE NEW YORKER

“CDFF movies are uncanny palimpsests of existing genre tropes and filmmaking techniques… Sometimes, though, novice imitation yields actual artistry, if only by accident.”

- Dan Schindel (alum, CDFF 2024), SCREEN SLATE

“CDFF is a brilliant idea, executed with funky style and some very smart editing. I discovered what cinematic geniuses my friends and I were at age 18.” 

- MARC WEISS (alum, CDFF 2024), CREATOR of POV on PBS
