Student Films in Shanghai
Six student films from the Manoa Academy for Creative Media, including a unique Hawai'i-China co-production, have been selected for showing at the 11th Shanghai International Film Festival, June 14-22.
Six ACM student filmmakers will also travel to China for the festival and to shoot some short films on location with students from Shanghai University. This first U.S.-China student film co-production is part of the Student Media Art Exchange program, partnering the two universities with the Hawai'i International Film Festival and the Shanghai International Film Festival. The films include the initial international collaboration, It Happened One Afternoon, directed by ACM student Russell Blanchard and featuring Shanghai University student filmmakers in the cast and crew. Also, Fresh Lenses, a documentary on the collaboration by Crystal Chen, will be featured in the Shanghai program along with Matalasi, by Dana Ledoux Miller, Catching Chase, by Jay Hanamura, Just Like That, by Nasser Marghalani and Yamanote Line by Ark FangRan Mu.
Matalasi screened at the 2007 HIFF, and Yamanote Line was filmed in Tokyo and Honolulu.
Another ACM film, My Brother’s Keeper, also screened at the 2007 HIFF, was selected for inclusion in the festival’s International Student Short Film Competition.
