A diverse group of 19 student films was presented at the 9th annual Gollin Film Festival at the University of Rochester on Wednesday, May 1, with the top films winning $1,200 in cash prizes. The festival, which is open to all undergraduate students at Rochester, is sponsored by the University\u2019s Film and Media Studies Program<\/a> with generous support from Studio Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s festival had one of the largest and most diverse submission pools and highest attendance rates in recent years,\u201d said Jason Middleton, assistant professor of English and director of the University\u2019s film and media studies program. More than 50 people attended the event, including Professor Emeritus Richard Gollin, for whom the festival is named. \u201cAlong with strong student participation in the Undergraduate Film Council, the Gollin Festival represents the vibrant and exciting state of creative work in film and digital media among today\u2019s students at the University of Rochester.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first place film TubStep<\/em><\/a>, submitted by Brynn Wilkins of Fairport, N.Y., Jared \u201cJD\u201d Page of Honeoye Falls, N.Y., and Melissa Goldin of Brooklyn, N.Y., was an experimental video art piece which was shot on a Sony camera, and then run through a \u201cglitch\u201d codec once edited. \u201cIt was really cool to see our film on the big screen and not just in a classroom setting,\u201d said Wilkins. \u201cOurs was definitely not a typical art piece, and it was nice to see it get recognized in this way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Molly Nemer of Mendota Heights, Minn., received second place for her short film Lightheaded<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>a black and white piece which featured a lone girl inflating balloons to music. \u201cIt was exciting to see the breadth of work produced here,\u201d said Nemer.<\/p>\n

Third place was awarded to the film Out of Hand<\/em>,<\/a> submitted by Jonah Jeng of Armonk, N.Y., and Casey Gould of Portland, Ore. \u201cWe shot the film entirely with an iPhone and two-person crew to prevent production from getting out of hand,\u201d says Gould. \u201cWhile Out of Hand <\/em>was never intended to be a Dogme 95 film, we believe you don\u2019t need professional camera equipment or cast to make something worth watching.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students were allowed to submit a maximum of two films created since enrollment at the University, which could be made using a variety of media formats and devices. The winners were determined by a panel of university professors including Middleton, Cary Peppermint, assistant professor of art, and Allen Topolski, associate professor of art.<\/p>\n

The festival was established in 2005 in honor of Professor Emeritus of English Richard Gollin, who founded the film studies program at the University in 1976 with the assistance of a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Gollin, who retired in 1989, authored A Viewer\u2019s Guide to Film: Art, Artifices, and Issues<\/em>, and received recognition for his research and writings on Romantic poetry and the Victorian novel.
