Now and Then: Bay Area Student Film Festival 2014
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at PFA Theater
(see times)
This year‘s student film festival brings together exciting new works from colleges throughout the Bay Area. They look both forward and backward in time, from Bad Connection, a collage homage to the rotary telephone, and the Cold War nightmares of Dilemmas of the Day, to a depiction of our evolving digital identity in The Password Was SNACKS. Ghost Syndrome, a portrait of a Moroccan lesbian living in the United States and My Homeland, the story of one family’s emigration from Iraq, illustrate the emotional resonances of living in-between cultures, while Heklina, Lost Cities, and Counting the Dead explore San Francisco, then and now.
