Film Screening | Belonging: Bay Area Student Film Festival 2013Post an Event »

In Person/Student Filmmakers Introduction/Student Curators The films in this year’s festival reveal the myriad themes that preoccupy the minds of young filmmakers across the Bay Area today. At the forefront is the exploration of a sense of belonging, whether to social niches or physical spaces. Ranging from a story of a motherless boy to an account of a young woman who navigates the male-dominated world of boxing, from a tribute to a local trolley line to the detailing of a grandmother’s belongings, these works employ innovative cinematic techniques to tell emotionally rich and insightful narratives.—Max Rosen F-Line Silvia Turchin, San Francisco State University, 2013, 9 mins, Color, Digital file, From the artist John Jennie Lennick, San Francisco Art Institute, 2012, 5:40 mins, Color, DVD, From the artist Concentrations #4: DE((TR)A(IL))TH CA(ER(KENNT)IMO(NI)A(S) Edward Setina, Jay Sims, California College of the Arts, 2013, 5:16 mins, Color, DVD, From the artists The Life of a Dog Renny McCauley, San Francisco State University, 2012, 9:45 mins, Color, Blu-ray, From the artist St. Patrick's Day Dolan Coleslaw Chorng, San Francisco State University, 2013, 3 mins, Color, DVD, From the artist Ingrid Alise Anderson, Berkeley Digital Film Institute, 2012, 7 mins, Color, Digital file, From the artist Through the Darkest Valley Michael Ong, San Francisco Art Institute, 2013, 8:32 mins, Color, Digital file, From the artist Critical Time Jon Gourley, San Francisco Art Institute, 2012, 2 mins, B&W, DVD, From the artist La Campeona Jakob Åsell, Anna X.
