by at

For the past five years my wife and I have been providing a quarterly screening event for local filmmakers and moving image artist called Columbus Moving Image Art Review (CMIAR). This Friday June 27th we will be hosting our 19th screening of CMIAR as well as a replay of the 18th screening. CMIAR 19 will be starting at 8pm in Hagerty Hall 180 and features two of my new pieces, My Typewriter – a short poetic narrative exploring the alienation caused by the ease of new communication technologies, and City Lights – Alys Beach, Digital Graffiti 2014 – an experimental documentary using a single shot from the entrance to the exit of the Digital Graffiti 2014 outdoor video festival in Alys Beach, Florida. Both films will be joined by several documentaries and experimental art films created by local filmmakers and OSU and CCAD students and Staff. The replay of CMIAR 18 will be at Comfest on the Solar Stage starting at 9:45 pm to close out the Friday night festivities.

Light food and drinks will be provided. CMIAR is sponsored by the OSU Film Studies Program and Nicolettecinemagraphics.

The Columbus International Film and Video Festival is the longest running film festival in the United States. For the past three years I have been chair of the student division overseeing a handful of jurors who watch anywhere from 50 to 90 student films. Each year we are tasked with not only choosing the top 3 films but also curating a screening event that highlights the best of the division as a whole.
