Films and Visual Arts

Special Instructions for UURAF 2025 Film and Visual Art Presentations

UURAF 2025 will be a hybrid event consisting of multiple presentation formats. UURAF is a public event. Do not share confidential information in your abstract or presentation.  

Film and visual arts presentations allow students to present their scholarship through the production of artistic work such as documentary films, multi-media, photography, sculptures, digital art, and similar products. Every reasonable effort will be made to preserve the integrity of each film or work of art.


Showcase Presentations

We are looking to feature up to eight works of art, films, and performances during UURAF 2025. Films and works of art will be on display as pop-up shows in the Breslin Center on April 11. Presenters will have an opportunity to visit with and receive feedback from audience members. Presenters must register by February 12 to be considered for the in-person Showcase. Late registrations and those not selected for the showcase will be invited to present online.
