CSU Summer Arts established the Media Arts
Festival in 1991 to give talented students studying film, video, and
interactive media within the 23-campus California State University
system an opportunity to present their work for critical review. In
2000, the Media Arts Festival expanded its mission to include
helping students of the CSU bridge the gap between student and
working professional.
In an effort to realize its expanded mission, the Festival now
includes three days of seminars and events geared to helping
students of the CSU become better prepared to work in the
entertainment and media industries.
Distinguished CSU professors and industry leaders choose the student
finalists and winners in the film, video, and interactive media
competition, and all finalist works are screened during the
Festival. Cash prizes and the prestigious Rosebud Award are awarded
to the winning student entries.
The Media Arts Festival has presented distinguished achievement
Rosebud Awards to industry leaders who express commitment to
education. Previous awardees include Gene Reynolds, Delbert Mann,
Annette Bening, William Friedkin, Whoopi Goldberg, Sherry Lansing,
Frank Oz, Herbert Ross, Mark Rydell, Robert Wise, John Frankenheimer,
Martha Coolidge, John Badham, and Edward James Olmos.
