Virtual Film Festival - 2020

Full Screening of Short Films

Trailer for Festival

Welcome

The work on this webpage is from film and media students at the College. We have several from our Y12 Diploma class and you can watch their seven minute culminating projects below. Practice Makes Perfect is set in our Manucha Bellamy Studio Theatre, an incredible newly renovated space– a sincere thank you from all of us goes out to the Manucha family for all their contributions to the Arts. I know I speak for everyone at UCC when I say I miss having the Manuchas around.
You can also watch some shorter films from our Year 11 class. I just want to warn everyone that there is violence in our scenes of conflict, all of which were created under the watchful eye of a professional fight coordinator, Simon Fon. While we do not condone violence as a means to conflict resolution we did have a lot of fun making these films. We were fortunate to have Simon come and teach our boys how to make a punch look and sound real: all the violence you see in these films was carefully choreographed to make sure the students were safe.
Anyone interested in film analysis will enjoy the selection of Comparative Studies from our Year 12 classes where students created a ten-minute documentary about a specific genre.
We also have films from our Digital Media courses that are part of our Design Department here at the College. These students are the future Diploma Film students and it is exciting to see their work.As always, I would like to thank the UCC Arts Booster Club and the head of the Arts here at UCC, Judith Macdonell.
A big thank you also to Christian Peterson, our artist in residence, who makes all our films better with his love of the arts and everything beautiful. I would also like to acknowledge all the work that Mr. Archer, Mr. Hoel, Ms. Kaye, Mr. Sweetman, Mr. Smith, and Ms. Triff do to help all our students tell better stories through film and digital media.
We hope you enjoy them,David CrawfordCoordinator of Film and Digital MediaUpper Canada College
