Canisius College

BUFFALO, NY − “Central Terminal: Saving a Buffalo Landmark,” a 30-minute video documentary produced by the Canisius College Video Institute, will be shown at the Buffalo Central Terminal on Saturday, June 23. The screening will be held as part of the First Annual New York State Wine and Cidre Festival. The event runs from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m. For more information, visit the Web site at www.buffalocentralterminal.org.

Produced by Digital Media Arts majors Kirsten Jahn '07 and Scott Richardson '09, the documentary traces the history of the building, its architectural and social significance, and the efforts of the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation to bring the building back to life.

The Canisius College Video Institute provides students with the opportunity to put their classroom lessons to work on projects that will benefit the college and the community at large. Students produce documentaries and promotional videos for local and international not-for-profit and service agencies that otherwise would not have the resources to tell their stories in this way.

The Canisius College Video Institute is funded in part by the John R. Oishei Foundation and directed by Barbara Irwin, PhD, chair of the Communication Studies Department. To read more about it, click here.
