Campus MovieFest (CMF) is the world's largest student film festival. Created in 2000 by four Emory University students, and originally called iMovieFest, Campus MovieFest utilizes Apple Computer laptops, iMovie, Final Cut Pro and Adobe Creative Cloud to give college and university students with all levels of filmmaking experience the opportunity to create short films. The equipment is provided to students for free for one week to create a 5-minute film.
Originally named iMovieFest, the competition changed its name to Campus MovieFest in 2003 with the expansion of the program to Georgia Tech and now includes all the major Atlanta-area schools.
Campus MovieFest became a worldwide film festival with the addition of Scotland in 2003 at The University of St. Andrews. CMF expanded to Boston and Florida in spring 2005. San Francisco area was added in the fall of 2005 with a UC Berkeley partnership.
