Communication 296F - Indstu-Film Festival

This is a 1-credit course that can only be taken as Pass/Fail. It will be held in conjunction with a long-running film festival at UMass: screenings, performances, workshops, and more, that extend across the academic semester. Students are required to attend at least 5 of the events and complete and submit surveys afterward, including a final retrospective survey at the end of the semester. Students may also be able to participate in Moodle forums dialogues and submit creative work for curatorial consideration. Open to all undergraduate students, all majors. Since the festival screenings change each semester, this course can be taken multiple times.

The 2023 theme, showcasing international and intercultural film/media, as well as some local/student work, is TBD. Offerings over the course of the semester are expected to be a mixture of mostly live/in-person screenings and related events; some may be streamed synchronously on Wednesdays, and/or made available asynchronously throughout the week.
