In January 2024, 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.
Interested in attending? Here are the details:
- To apply, visit this link.
- We will be attending during the final full week of January (tentatively Jan. 21-27). Attending students will be required to notify professors in advance of anticipated absences, and create appropriate academic work plans.
- Personal costs will be approximately $975 (not including food and incidentals), depending on airline and lodging costs.
- You do not need to be a cinematic arts or communication major to attend. Applications from all full-time George Fox undergraduate students will be considered, but we will be limited to traveling with approximately 10 selected students.
- A minimum GPA of 2.75 is required, as well as a thoughtful explanation of how this event would contribute to your future personal, academic, and/or professional goals.
- Applications received by Monday, April 24, will receive first consideration.
- During the spring 2024 semester, CINE 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 (this is not a requirement) of registering for this course to receive credit connected to the Sundance and later semester experiences.
