On Friday, May 26, the Film and TV Guild presented an outstanding series of student-made films and videos in the Advanced Technology Center in room 120.
As a tribute to the students, the guild deviated from their normal routine by showing a diverse array of student videos that ranged from comedy to drama.
The evening began with a film titled “A Day Without Physics.” This film offered a satirical look at the basic laws of physics. With use of innovative camera tricks, filmmakers James and David Codeglia successfully engaged the audience in hysterical laughter.
Pulling up next in the line-up was “Torque.” Codeglia combined great camera angles with an ingenious story line to make this film an immediate eye opener. The film began with a young man casually walking in a parking lot only to stop in the middle of a crosswalk. Forcing an anxious driver to wait resulted in an exciting chase scene.
The guild showed a serious film, “Angels at Play”, next. It depicted the tragic loss of a son and how his father coped with that loss. Set almost entirely in a cemetery, the filmmakers used interesting camera angles. Also, filming undercover for two days in a cemetery while people mourned made the job increasingly stressful said filmmaker Lloyd Walter Scott.
The Film and Television Guild shows are held every couple weeks. Ordinarily, a particular movie is chosen and then discussed afterwards. A date has not been set for the next show although it is estimated that it will be held the week before finals.
For the next showing, the movie “Fight Club” is a possible choice. Shows are held in ATC120.
