The 30th Annual invitational film show, the culmination of the Dorothy H. Hirshon Film Festival, is a gala screening of outstanding films made by New School students during the past year.

The Hirshon Film Festival was established by a bequest from the late Dorothy Hirshon, a trustee of The New School for 61 years.
