A Night at the Movies Featuring Films by Sheridan Students

Sheridan Media Arts advanced diploma students will be showcasing their work at Encore Cinemas on three evenings in April, screening films they’ve been working on during the school year. Each evening features the best work from a particular year of students across a variety of genres including documentaries, experimental films, as well as 30-second commercials. Students worked collaboratively, each taking on a role to write, produce, direct, edit, and film their pieces, and members of the Faculty of Animation, Arts, and Design helped select the ones to be screened.
