Film Festival Friday

The Venue

This past Friday, I went to the Telluride Film Festival that was hosted at the Davis Center at the University of Vermont. I went because we had to attend one of two film festivals for my Nature and Outdoor writing class, which is awesome! The films ranged in length from 2 minutes to 20.
I went with my friend Jack and we each brought our significant others, which was great! It was like a double date for a class.
The film festival was so interesting! We were able to see a bunch of films that covered a variety of topics. There was one that looked at a surfer, one that looked at ranchers, and another that followed ice climbers. It was so cool to be able to see different aspects of the world and where people go to seek adventure or make a livelihood.
After seeing the films, we are doing a write up about two films that we saw. I want to focus on the ice climbing and ranchers. They are very different, one looks at a lifestyle and the other looks at a hobby. Both were really well shot, it makes me want to look into making videos more. Hopefully I can produce a short film as good as the ones I saw at the festival for my senior project.
