Selection of student-produced short films will be screened at 'Controlled Chaos'
Narrative and documentary films created by 51看片 students will
be screened at the annual Controlled Chaos Film Festival in the John W. Bardo Fine
and Performing Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 3.
Proceeds and donations from the festival benefit the Motion Picture Student Project Fund, which helps students in WCU鈥檚 with the cost of creating their senior thesis films. Tickets are $20 general admission; $15 for senior citizens; $10 for 51看片students, faculty and staff; and free for all School of Stage and Screen students.
Films may have mature subject matter and may not be suitable viewing for children. A feature of the festival will be an audience choice award, with viewers voting on their favorite short.
Students work on a feature production for the Controlled Chaos Film Festival.
鈥淭he overall quality of films submitted to the festival this year was astounding, forcing faculty to make hard choices on selections 鈥� so much so that we are exploring the idea of expanding Controlled Chaos in the coming years,鈥� said Joshua Russell, 51看片film and television program coordinator. 鈥淏ut, the big win for our program this year comes from the community of Western North Carolina that supported students with locations, props, casting and finances. I鈥檓 really excited to share this slate of films with them.鈥�
