Attend the 2018 Sundance Film Festival
In January 2018, selected George Fox students are traveling to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The Sundance festival is widely regarded as the most prestigious annual showcase for new work from American and international independent filmmakers.
Alongside the Sundance Festival, George Fox students will also be attending the Windrider Forum, a venue for conversations about the intersections of faith and film.
We will be attending during the final full week of January. The tentative dates are Jan. 21-27, 2018. Attending students will be required to notify professors in advance of anticipated absences, and create appropriate academic work plans. Personal costs for students will most likely range from $850 to $950 (not including food and incidentals), depending on airline and lodging costs.
You do NOT need to be a CMCO (cinematic arts) or communication major to attend. Applications from all full-time undergraduate students will be considered, but we will be limited to traveling with 10 to 12 selected students.
During the Spring 2018 semester, CMCO 285/485, a selected topics course, will be offered on “Independent Cinema,†and will connect to the Sundance trip experience. Students will have the option (NOT requirement) of registering for this course to receive credit connected to the Sundance and later semester experiences.
