Film and Media Studies Department hosts its annual film rally
The film and media studies department kicked off the start of the year with its annual FMS Film Rally on Thursday evening. The event offered new and returning students an opportunity to meet faculty and staff, learn about upcoming department opportunities and hear from guest speaker Deidre Backs.
Students had the opportunity to ask Backs, a University alumna and producer, questions about producing during a Q&A portion of the event as well as view a screening of her current project, “Fancy Dance.”
The film follows a Native American woman who retrieves her niece from her white grandparents and sets out for the state powwow, all in an effort to preserve what remains of their family bonds.
