NVC Student Filmmakers to Showcase Their Work
December 12, 2024
San Antonio - Northwest Vista College’s Digital Video & Cinema Production (DVCP) program is excited to announce its upcoming Student Film Showcase. The event will highlight the creative and technical skills of talented NVC students.
This free event is open to the public and set for Thursday, December 12, 2024, at 6 p.m. at the Palmetto Center for the Arts.
The showcase features about 18 short films and film scenes in various genres, all under 5 minutes, written and directed by students from the Directing for Film/Video course. This end-of-semester event is one of the highlights of the DVCP program, in which NVC student filmmakers get to premiere their original work in front of an audience comprised of fellow students, faculty, friends, family, and the community.
“The DVCP program at NVC is proud to support the growth of early filmmakers and provide them with opportunities to share their work with the community,” said Noelia Santos, DVCP program coordinator and interim chair for the Computer Science Technology and Business department. “Students will showcase films they wrote and directed, which they can then use to launch careers in the film industry.”
Students enrolled in the DVCP program are learning on the same industry-standard equipment and software used by professionals. This hands-on experience prepares them for successful careers in the growing film and video industry.
Recently, the City of San Antonio’s Department of Arts & Culture and its Film Commission announced that San Antonio has, for the sixth year in a row, been named one of MovieMaker’s Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker. Featuring 25 big U.S. cities, San Antonio joins three other Texas cities on the list (El Paso, Dallas, and Austin) and is highlighted among other film industry key locales such as Albuquerque, Atlanta, and Toronto.
DVCP program graduates have gone on to work in various roles, including production manager, producer/director, video editor, sound editor, compositor, camera operator, cinematographer, and screenwriter.
Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate the next generation of filmmakers.
