he ASU Herberger College School of Theatre and Film hosts the Fourth Annual Film Festival and Audience Choice Award* competition April 27–28 at the Harkins Valley Art Theatre in downtown Tempe. The traditionally sold-out event has been expanded to two nights and features the work of dozens of filmmakers eager to see their work on the big screen.
“Audience members will see a wide range of short films, from documentaries to dramas to comedies to demo and cinematography reels, all of which explore a full range of the curriculum here at ASU,” says F. Miguel Valenti, Lincoln Professor of Ethics and the Arts and program director of Film and Media Production in the ASU Herberger College School of Theatre and Film. “We are the first school in the nation to incorporate ethics into the teaching of film production, and it is always fascinating to see how students interpret that,” Valenti adds. “We welcome all to come and see for themselves the great work our students are doing here at ASU.”
