On a sunny spring evening, the 2nd and 3rd Year Film + Screen Arts Screening took place in the Reliance Theatre at ECU. The event was spearheaded by students Alex Silva and Lula-Belle Jedynak. There was tremendous support from Christine Stewart, Carlo Ghioni, Lindsay McIntyre, Jonathan Tammuz, and many others from FMSA faculty with regards to organization, gear & event logistics, planning, materials provided, and support to all the students. The audience was filled with students from all years and programs, guests, and FMSA faculty.
Alex and Lula-Belle supported the event as emcees, general organization, setup and teardown, along with additional media creation (programs, background images, promo.) The setup began at 2 pm, and the event began at 5 pm with a full house! Food was provided by Fujiya, and sweet treats were served before the screenings. Student shorts began at 5:45 pm, and continued until 10:40 pm with a large group of people staying until the end. The event brought together a strong sense of community and support, and new connections were made among the audience. The mix of different styles of short films was a true testament to the diversity of the students at Emily Carr, and a reflection of an environment that encourages artistic growth in countless directions.
