Webster U. student film festival, Saturday evening

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the epicenter of student filmmaking in St. Louis is at Webster University. Webster grads such as Brian Jun (”Steel City”) go on to Hollywood careers, and many of the locals who were hired for the crew of the George Clooney movie “Up in the Air” learned their craft at Webster.

On Saturday, May 2, the latest Webster wunderkinds will showcase their wares at the 4th annual student film festival, hosted by the Webster Film and Video Society.

The festivities in Moore Auditorium begin at 6 p.m. with a reception that is free and open to the public. The theme is Bollywood, and attendees are encouraged to dress accordingly (i.e., colorfully). At 7, the films will screen.

all I know in advance are the titles:

Through Her Eyes

The Beach

Black Thorn

Manos Countdown

Hyper-Somnia

I’m Sorry

Third Time’s The Charm

Electrical Storm

Destroy The Cycle

Flicker of Light

The Project

Oranges

They Came From Above The Sea

Paid In Full

Hello Stranger

Flamingo

Con Brio

Bathsheba

Illinois Wants Me

No Goodbye For Grandpa

Spaces

Expect documentaries, mockumentaries, narratives, animation and unclassifiable weirdness. And expect some of these directors to be world-class professionals within ten years.
