Annual Short Film and Video Festival
Past Winners
*LeBLANC AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD*
Each year during the festival, our audience members vote for their favorite film or video. We tally the votes and announce the year's "LeBlanc Audience Choice Award" following the festival.
The "LeBlanc Audience Choice Award" is dedicated to former ASU Art Museum Security Officer Steve LeBlanc, whose life was taken from us tragically prior to the 1998 festival. He was a great friend to everyone and a major reason the festival was a big success in its first year. Everyone loved Steve and that is why we found it appropriate to dedicate this award to his memory.
