Publications and Creative Work

University of Oregon students can take advantage of a variety of opportunities to share their original research or creative work. Undergraduate students in the Cinema Studies department are encouraged to participate in on-campus research symposiums, submit their work for publication, and participate in local and national film festivals and competitions–including our very own University Film Organization’s student film festival held each spring.


UO Undergraduate Research Symposium

Many Cinema Studies undergraduates participate in the UO Undergraduate Research Symposium, where they can show their creative work and connect with the academic community.
