Video Institute Documentary In Film Festival
"Central Terminal" documentary to be screened at 5th Annual Trenton Film Festival
“Central Terminal: Saving a Buffalo Landmark,” has been selected for screening at the 5th Annual Trenton Film Festival May 2 – 4, 2008. The documentary, produced by the Canisius College Video Institute, will be screened on Saturday, May 3 at 4 pm at the Broad Street Bank, and will include a panel discussion moderated by Preservation New Jersey.
The 30-minute video documentary, produced by digital media arts majors Kirsten Jahn '07 and Scott Richardson '09, 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.
Jahn and Richardson will attend the festival with Barbara Irwin, PhD, chair of the Communication Studies Department and director of the Video Institute, and will participate in the audience talk-back session following the screening.
Funded in part by the John R. Oishei Foundation, 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.
