History
Started by David Philips, a previous owner of the Minor Theater, and other Humboldt State University students in 1967, it is the longest-running student-organized film festival. It is a non-profit festival that focuses on narrative, documentary, animated and experimental films under 30 minutes. The festival runs each spring between March and April in Humboldt County, California and annually presents films and free public film-making workshops totaling almost 25 hours.
It is partially funded by Associated Students on a yearly basis and offers a 1-3 unit course each semester. The festival was known as the Humboldt International Short Film Festival from the 1980s to 2007. The festival has been associated in the past with various women's organizations on campus.
