Lycoming College is pleased to present the Film and Video Arts Senior Film Screening at the AMC Classic Williamsport 11, 300 W. Fourth St., on April 18, beginning promptly at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m.
Five graduating film and video arts seniors will screen 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, and film studies. Students balance theory and film production as they study the way the moving image interprets and represents humanity, culture and society.
The film and video arts seniors are proud to share their work with the community on the big screen at the AMC theatre.
“This year we have a wide variety of works being presented by our film and video arts senior class. Our narrative and documentary short screening at the AMC will cover topics such as passion, family, love and loss,” said Leah Bedrosian Peterson, associate professor of film and video arts, and chair of the communications department at Lycoming College. “We are excited to show our students’ work in such a way that best highlights their efforts and accomplishments.”
The films slated for screening include:
