Film and Video Makers at Cal

March 10, 2005 - May 6, 2005

Jonas, May 6

This annual series showcases recent short film and video works by UC Berkeley students. This year's selections are extremely eclectic, ranging from playful homages and explorations of familiar genres to experimental and introspective works. Similarly, the artists themselves represent a diverse selection of Berkeley students who express themselves through a multitude of techniques and styles, ranging from animation to the appropriation of found footage. Each program offers the opportunity to participate in a discussion with the artists.
