Students graduating from the School of Media Arts Bachelor of Fine Arts program at The University of Arizona will screen their senior thesis films at I Dream in Widescreen. This popular, standing-room-only event is the culmination of the skills, knowledge and creative vision fostered by the highly selective Media Arts BFA program in film and video production. Many students from the program go on to present their films at major film festivals, such as 2006 alumnus Jonathan Pulley, whose film Move Me played in the Sundance Film Festival.
Slated for this year’s screening is an unusually diverse and ambitious array of films of different genres. All films were written, directed, and crewed by Media Arts students and feature acting talent from throughout the Tucson community. The films will be followed by a question and answer session with all of the graduating filmmakers.
A local tradition started at The Loft Cinema, I Dream In Widescreen drew 800 people to the Fox Tucson last year and an even bigger crowd this year is expected at The Tucson Music Hall. “The School of Media Arts is excited about taking the stage at The Tucson Music Hall, in the center of Tucson’s historic downtown arts district,” said Lisanne Skyler, Assistant Professor in the School of Media Arts and producer of the screening, which is free and open to all.
I Dream in Widescreen is made possible by support from The University of Arizona College of Fine Arts Small Grants Program,The Hanson Film Institute, The Student-Faculty Interaction Program, The Loft Cinema and the School of Media Arts.
