IDFLM 2825 LA+D Film Festival
Create a film festival at Lesley University! This course is designed to facilitate a new virtual Festival that will premiere in the spring. Working collaboratively, students will take an active role in organizing and running the festival. This involves learning about presenting films in a virtual cinema space, details around exhibition, screening and programming film submissions, fundraising, marketing, and what it's like to work in the film festival industry and create a successful film festival. Students will work with faculty to establish the theme of the festival, send out a call for submissions on the industry-standard platforms, review submissions, and create the film festival.
