Six graduating film and video arts seniors will be screening their films which include narrative and documentary genres. Students decide on the genre and content of their films under the guidance of their thesis professor. They write, film, edit and produce their films over the course of the academic year.
The communications department at Lycoming offers majors in corporate communication and film and video arts, with minors in corporate communication, film and video arts, film studies, and media writing. Students balance theory and practice as they study the way media interacts with society and are introduced to a variety of media in their courses, extracurricular activities, independent projects and internships.
The film and video arts seniors are proud to share their work with the community on the big screen at the local cinema theatre. “This is bound to be an enjoyable evening this year and we hope you will join us in supporting and celebrating their hard work,” says Leah Bedrosian Peterson, associate professor of film and video arts and director of the film and video arts program. “We are grateful for the support of our campus and local communities and are pleased to share these films with you.”
