Past Events
The 4th Annual Glenbard Film Festival streamed live on Thursday, May 20, on GEfinearts.org. Students from our four schools submitted films. The festival will feature films in the following categories: dramatic or comedic short, stop motion or animation and school-related project. First and second place winners for each category will be announced Thursday night, and all of the submitted films will be shown and showcased. After the films, there will be a special screening of Glenbard East’s dance show, A 5,6,7,8! as well.
The first category is the Stop Motion and Animated Shorts. These four films bring animate objects , take us to faraway lands, and bring motion to art. Stop motion and Animation is a time consuming art form and each of these entries brought their own style and art to life.
