Elon's student
film organization, Cinelon, sponsored it's 2005 Film Festival in
May. The films were required to be between 1 and 30 minutes in length,
and they could be submitted in a DVD, mini-DV, VHS, SVHS, DVCAM
or BETA format.

The festival
rules allow participation by Elon University faculty, staff and
students, and alumni may also submit entries within two years of
graduation. The work is evaluated by a panel of judges consisting
of professors and students; they decide the programing of the festival
and select the winners in various categories.
In a separate
competition held earlier in the academic year, Sean Hennen wrote
the winning script in the Cinelon screenwriting contest.
Current Cinelon
officers include: Christopher Disher, president; Bryan Kernodle,
vice president; Trent Watts, treasurer; Grace Dow, secretary.
The group's
faculty adviser is School of Communications faculty member Michael
Frontani.
