NAMLE Film Festival — New in 2011
Enjoy media at its best — a diverse and dynamic line-up of film screenings every evening! A mix of shorts and features — documentaries, animation, and experimental — the NAMLE Film Festival showcases some of the most engaging films available to media literacy educators. Giving voice to viewpoints, individuals, and groups that are often misrepresented or underrepresented by mainstream media, these well-crafted works address local and global themes, often connecting the two.
See inventive animation from Jordan; listen in on day laborers, Guantánamo detainees, Senegalese hip-hop artists, and Canadian teens; and reframe your perspective on entrenched cultural institutions and critical issues. Works from distributors such as Media Education Foundation, Women Make Movies, and Media That Matters represent some of the best of these extensive and exceptional collections.
Our opening night screening includes a sneak preview of Connected: An Autobiography About Love, Death and Technology by Tiffany Shlain, which was screened recently at the Sundance Film Festival and other festivals around the globe. The film explores major issues of our time — the environment, consumption, population growth, human rights, the global economy — and their relationship to media and technological development.
Screening times for all films will be available at the Registration Table.
