Continuing the tradition from 2022, 2023 and 2024, here’s a roundup of student films shared on NG this year!
If you’ve shared an animated film made for school, tag your entry with “student-film” and the optional “thesis-film” tag if it’s your thesis film. Additional context in the author commentary is also helpful, including details like what art school you are attending and what year of school you were in when you made the piece. Information like this helps people who are curious about schools and is useful for historical documentation.
If your student film isn’t on this list, let us know in the replies or drop me a PM and I’ll add it! You can also upload your student film and give me the heads up to add it.
Honors go to the School of Visual Arts, Savannah College of Art and Design and the College for Creative Studies, having consistently had great showings year after year.

Thank you everyone for sharing your student films on NG! We know there are hundreds, if not thousands more films out there and we’d love to see more of them.
We’ve had long-time plans for a way to browse schools based on student film output but seeing as how long that project has been on the backburner, I think I’m going to use the playlist system to take a rough stab at the general idea.
Do you like the general direction of that collection?
