The International Student Film and Video Festival (ISFVF) is an international showcase and exchange event for student short films and video works, organized by the Beijing Film Academy (BFA). Established in 2001 by Professor Xie Fei, the festival takes place annually in Beijing every autumn. It is supported by the International Association of Cinema, Audiovisual and Media Schools (CILECT) and is an integral part of the UNESCO Chair on Cinematic Arts and Cultural Diversity. The ISFVF aims to promote the internationalization of film education, facilitate exchanges among cinematic arts students globally, and introduce emerging talents to the film industry.
