PRESS RELEASE
Regional Student Film Competition to Screen Winning Entries at Upstate Films
EVENT LOCATION: Upstate Films, Rhinebeck NY
DATE: May 13, 2012
TIME: 1:00 pm
The film competition was open to documentary and narrative films on topics in the public interest made by students at Bard College, Dutchess Community College, Marist College, Mount Saint May College, and Vassar College.
The competition is named in honor of local peace activist Eli Jaffe, who died in 2001. “It seemed fitting to us at the Gillespie Forum that an event we hoped would stimulate thinking and discussion should be named for a person who devoted his life to activism and service,” said Gillespie Forum President Steve Sansola. The Forum is a local non-profit that regularly sponsors lectures, panels, forums, and films on topics of current public interest, often in collaboration with area colleges and other community organizations. The top student filmmakers in the second annual Eli Jaffe Film Competition, sponsored by the local Gillespie Forum, will have their work featured at this screening. For more information, see gillespieforum.org . For questions on the Eli Jaffe Film Competition, contact Dana Weidman at weidman@sunydutchess.edu
