The SUNYwide Film Festival was launched in 2009 by Fredonia Associate Professor of Film and Video Arts Phil Hastings to showcase cinematic work of students and faculty in the SUNY system. The first five festivals were organized at Fredonia; it shifted to SUNY Oswego for the next two years and will debut at SUNY Buffalo State. Approximately 200 films and videos are considered each year, with students from 23 campuses submitting for the 2017 festival.
