关于电影节
An annual film festival started in the year 2000 by Ms. Mancuso’s Filmmaking Video Art class at Nichols School. The 电影节日 film festival is a forum for Western New York high school and middle school students to showcase the best of their motion picture pieces. 除了获奖, students will have an opportunity to meet their peers, screen their own work in front of a diverse audience, and to get a look at film/video work from area students.
这个过程
The festival involves an open call for work. The student committee makes a poster and sends out letters to area schools and media outlets. The students also launch a social media campaign for the festival and make short films to promote the festival and encourage fellow students to make films. When the student entries are collected, the student festival committee views and judges the work. The committee selects the works to screen and curates a program. The students whose works are selected are notified and encouraged to attend the program. The student committee watches the selected festival entries and selects winning work. 在节日的晚上, the student festival committee acts as the emcee for the evening, greeting the attendees and handing out ballots for the “People’s Choice” award. Then everyone sits back and enjoys the wonderful selection of films. Finally, awards are presented to the best entries of each category and the crowd’s favorite film.
The 电影节日 has screened the work of over 430 local students.
Over 38 area schools have participated in the festival.
NYSMATA (NYS Media Teachers Alliance), 吱吱响的轮子, 布法罗新闻, Buffalo Rising and Artvoice and The Public have promoted the festival and run articles about the students and their films.
The 电影节日 has screened at Nichols School and at the Albright Knox Art Gallery
