STUDENT FILM MONTH:
What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This (dir. Martin Scorsese, 1963)

Another of the great directors, Martin Scorsese learned his craft through making shorts. This film, What’s a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This, was made while he was an NYU film student in 1963. His early films were well received, including The Big Shave, a dark satire on the Vietnam War… and this short, which tells the story of a man who becomes obsessed with a picture on his wall.

Student Film Month
In celebration of student filmmakers everywhere and our Student Film In Transit competition, we’ve launched Student Film Month at Cannes in a Van. Every day throughout February, we’re publishing a student film from somewhere in the student film-sphere. It might be a student classic like the 1965 long-short Boy and Bicycle from a young Ridley Scott… an award-winning masterpiece… or a film directed by you.

We’ll be publishing a wealth of moving images from the infamous to the obscure, each film worthy of it’s place on our humble little stage. So what’s stopping you picking up that mouse, tablet or phone and sending us your own student short? You never know where the big yellow van might take you!

We’re even hosting a special Student Film Screen Social very soon in London so look out for more on that by joining our mailing list.

It’s simple to submit…
Email us at play@screensocial.com and tell us what you’d like to show, then fill in the Screen Social submission form (please include details of production) and we’ll do the rest!

We look forward to screening your film.
