The Ghost Who Walks: Lying Between the Real and Imagined -- Curated by Shanshan Wang

MISSION STATEMENT

              SEFF Binghamton: Student Experimental Film Festival is a student run film festival located in Binghamton, NY. It focuses on experimental pieces that challenge its viewers and filmmakers to go outside their comfort zone. We take films from students, across the United States, and organize a two-day event to showcase those films to the students and local community. We as students who are enrolled in Curating Film and Video at Binghamton University strive to create awareness of this artistic sub-culture that is becoming more prevalent in today’s society.
