The Daily Bruin

Do you like to be entertained and support your friends? The Fox Film Festival is your event!

Come join us for a night of friends, fun and films. There are two nights of the festival, and the same films will be shown at each. On Saturday, April 22, we’ll host an awards ceremony following the viewings.

Here is the schedule:

• Friday, April 21, 4 p.m.
  Cameo Theatre
  $5/one ticket
  $8/two tickets
• Saturday, April 22, 7 p.m.
  Bauman Auditorium
  Free admission
  Awards ceremony to follow

Our cinematic arts students have been hard at work all year creating short films through a variety of courses. There are several categories the films fall under, including Live Action Film, Animated Film, Fresh Film (from first-year students), Narrative, and Documentary/Non-Fiction.

Come out on one or both of the nights to support your fellow Bruins on our last weekend of the semester. If you have any questions, please reach out to Alex Chung (achung@georgefox.edu) or Amber Abrams (aabrams20@georgefox.edu). Can’t wait to see you all there!

Phase 2 is an initiative aimed at collecting usable things that students living on campus tend to throw in the trash at the end of the academic year, to give them a second chance at being used.

A group of George Fox employees is trying to bring back this tradition, but we can’t do it without your help! Sign up now for a shift during the week of finals and the weekend of commencement to sort and pick up the items collected.

Questions? Email Rob Leslie at rleslie@georgefox.edu.
