Notre Dame Students show off their skills
January 22nd 2008 05:41
Dont think the only student festivals I care about are just in Sydney. The University of Notre Dame screens its 19th annual Student Film Festival at 7 and 10 p.m. Thursday Jan 24 Saturday Jan 26 at the DeBartolo Center for the Performing Arts.
With 15 films making up the Festival lineup you can look forward to almost two hours of weird and wonderful shortsRunning time is about 110 minutes and of course as with most festivals, it will probably go a little longer than expected, but if your in the local area, this is something different to do on the weekend rather than the usual dinner, movie, club. You can do that next week
Below are the 15 films and a brief description. Booking details are at the bottom of the page for those interested in attending!
"Pope Michael," by Adam Fairholm, Emily Gorski and George Heidkamp: A Kansas man is the winner of the papal election of a handful of "true" Roman Catholics who believe the papacy was vacated with Vatican II.
"A Convenient Truth," by Dan Moore, Rama Gottumukkala and Corey Baggett. The story of a Notre Dame student who, inspired by the Al Gore documentary, tries to take advantage of global warming to make South Bend a warmer place.
