We bring student work to the big screen through our regular cinema events in London, Berlin and Budapest, and distribute show reels to international festivals and cinemas, giving the stars of tomorrow unique international exposure.

From submissions by students across the world we pick the most innovative and compelling work which shows the great quality and variety of media, techniques and ideas being made. We at EMERGEANDSEE believe that we're now in a world where good ideas are valued much more than technical perfection - and EMERGEANDSEE is showing these ideas and supporting the people who create.

EMERGEANDSEE was started by Camberwell students Robert Laing and Kathrin Schöps in the year 2000, which was a key moment for video. Students have just recently had access to cheap technology, which allowed them to make creative, spontaneous work. This has meant a huge rise in the number of students experimenting with video, animation and film in art colleges, without an over-emphasis on technique.

Since then EMERGEANDSEE has grown enormously becoming one of the best known and most innovative organisation promoting student film throughout Europe and further.
