The first annual FAU Film Festival will be showcasing 13
student-made movies but will only last four hours.
Each film is an average of 10 minutes long, with the
not so many exception of the film Dual Enrollment, which is 35 minutes
long. This means that if each film is played back to back,
this festival will last exactly two hours and 22 minutes. The
event will go from 5:30 p.m. till 9:30 p.m. on Friday, April
