Communication 296F - Indstu-Film Festival

This is a 1-credit colloquium course that can only be taken Pass/Fail. In Fall 2021, Comm 296F is held in conjunction with a curated semester-long program of virtual events, with digital screenings, conversations with guest makers, mediated performances, and more, focusing especially on global digital storytelling and the theme of "home." To earn 1 credit, students are required to attend at least 7 of the synchronous festival events on Wednesday events, to complete surveys after each event, and to complete a retrospective survey at the end of the semester. In the likely Zoomcast format, students will have the opportunity to interact with guests via interactive Q&A and submit their completed surveys via Moodle. Some additional asynchronous opportunities for students to experience films/videos/audiovisual materials, participate in Moodle forums, and submit creative work for curatorial consideration, may also be included as part of the semester-long festival.

Comm 296F is open to all undergraduate students, all majors. Since the festival screenings change each semester, Comm 296F can be taken multiple times.
