Augsburg University in Minneapolis, MN is delighted to host the 73rd Conference of the University film and Video Association from July 30 to August 2, 2019.
Tales of suffering or unbounded delight, of final examinations or out-of-control administrations, exhibited in AR, VR, HD or 4K. UFVA is our big land and our stories are more than 10,000, so in July 2019, we'll be telling just a few of those tales, and analyzing some others, and explaining still others, in the screening rooms and classrooms of the Augsburg University campus.
