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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of persecution is a history of endeavors to cheat nature, to make water run up hill, to twist a rope of sand.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
