Only five Undergraduate Films are included in Competition at The Ottawa International Festival this year. Alan Jennings' (ANI 07) "Running in Darkness" is among those selected and will receive its World Premiere at the festival.
This film was Alan's degree project film documenting the affect of alzheimer's on family members. Included in the interviews are MassArt faculty Flip Johnson and Suzanne Barnes. Handcrafted by a technique of painting on glass, the work is maturely rendered and sensitively edited, paired down to just over 2 minutes of footage from hours of audio footage.
Alan's film is one of only 2 US selections from hundreds of international entries submitted for consideration. Others include works from Taiwan, Israel, and France.
