SCAD wows its audiences at the Savannah Film Festival 2024, bringing many students and fans closer to many of the greatest industry leaders.
With more than 25 years of the Savannah College of Art and Design-run (SCAD) movie festival, this year went bigger to welcome acclaimed films and illustrious guests to the Hostess City of the South. This college of art and design knows no limits to potential as the SCAD Savannah Film Festival (SAVFF) has connected student filmmakers and film enthusiasts alike with actors, directors, industry insiders, and the below-the-line talent. CGMagazine was able to witness the shining entertainment beacon of Savannah, Georgia this year again—but with even more thunderous cheers and applause.
This year’s SAVFF was a major stop in the Academy Awards festival circuit, screening 162 films with 123 narrative feature films, 31 documentary feature films, and 69 shorts, with 10 world premieres and six U.S. premieres. It was really insightful to wait until the Q&A’s began after some of the screenings too. Here is a list of some of the biggest screenings from this year’s festival, most not released yet:
