Two Senior Thesis Film Screenings by Film, Animation and New Media Majors on Dec. 9
There will be two screenings of senior thesis films directed, produced, shot and edited by film, animation and new media majors from The University of Tampa on Monday, Dec. 9. They will take place on campus at the Reeves Theater in the Vaughn Center (401 W. Kennedy Blvd.) at 4 and 7 p.m.
The screenings are free and open to the public. Free visitor parking is available in the Thomas Parking Garage and in the West Parking Garage.
The 4 p.m. show includes documentary, narrative and experimental films about rappers, wrestlers and challenges faced by women of color — as well as dramatic narrative, horror, fantasy and romance films. Themes of the show include empowerment and representation related to race and gender, loss, abuse, artificial intelligence and more.
The 7 p.m. show includes a live rap performance by Pete Doughty (a.k.a. P Will) followed by documentary, narrative and experimental films, and a digital photo series. These films explore themes ranging from isolation and loss to empowerment and body image.
The screenings are free and open to the public. Free visitor parking is available in the Thomas Parking Garage and in the West Parking Garage. Viewer discretion is advised due to mature content of some of the films. The screenings are presented by the College of Arts and Letters, and the Department of Film, Animation and New Media.
