However, student films can also be seen as professing certain elements of a genre that stem out of the very given criteria. The focal point of the thesis is the relationship between student films and in majority international film festivals - this is approached based on mapping of significant achievements of Czech student films at international festivals, examination of student films as seen by the festivals and Czech film professionals and experts. The key element that will be dealt with throughout the entire thesis is the discussion concerning the artifically-introduced stigma that student films carry in the eyes of the general public.
