Eau Claire Progressive Film Festival Earn course credit and service-learning it's not too late to sign up!

English 395, Section 010: Progressive Film Festival

Help participate in organizing and conducting the third annual Eau Claire P rogressive Film Festival, to run on the UWEC campus for ten days in April, specific rooms and dates to be announced. Help with programming, fundraisi ng, publicity, promotion, hosting of guests, facilitating post-screening di scussions, and serving as a liaison with progressive organizations and film
 organizations across Wisconsin and Minnesota. Work in student teams, wit h plenty of room for individual--and group--forms of creative initiative.
 Meetings at flexible times to fit with students' schedules. Students may sign up to earn one, two, or three (upper level English) course credits for
 work on the festival [which can be used to help support a topical minor in
 film studies], or to earn up to 15 hours of service learning credit for do ing the same. [Also, at times students join this effort just because they
 are interested and want to help out without seeking to earn either course or service-learning credit--that's certainly welcome too.] Always a fun ti me with plenty of opportunity for extensive social interaction as well as p roductive achievement. The Eau Claire Progressive Film Festival is now the
 world's current largest and longest-lasting independent, alternative, non- profit community-based film festival focused explicitly and exclusively on films representing progressive stances versus progressive issues. If you a re interested in film, and support progressive goals--human emancipation, social justice, collective equality, ecological sustainability, and a peace ful world--do consider joining and helping out with the Eau Claire Progress ive Film Festival. Questions, please contact: Bob Nowlan, Executive Direct or, ranowlan@uwec.edu<mailto:ranowlan@uwec.edu>, and/or John Nicksic, Direc tor, nicksijs@uwec.edu<mailto:nicksijs@uwec.edu>.
