Saturday, October 12, 2024 | 2-6PM | UC San Diego | Mosaic Hall
An inaugural showcase and celebration of cinematic work produced by fellows of the Suraj Israni Center for Cinematic Arts.
The Fellowship Forum brings together a unique community of over a dozen student, faculty, staff and alumni creators from UC San Diego, highlighting and celebrating diverse artistic visions and inspiring new definitions of cinematic art.
The forum will showcase projects through a 3-part series of 45-minute segments, each including mini film screenings and panel discussions, and concluding with a reception of light refreshments. See below drawers for details.
Fellow projects span an impressive range from narratives of conflict and violence in Columbia’s mining industry, to a philosophical deepfake of Drew Barrymore, a drama of COVID-19 resilience, to a cosmic opera and so much more.
