Students were given the flexibility to work in any mode\/model of non-fiction film and were encouraged to take creative risks, and were asked to adhere to the \u201ccommonsense assumptions\u201d of documentary as laid out by scholar Bill Nichols; essentially, that the films depict real people (not actors), real events, and the real world. They were shown a wide array of example documentary work throughout the term, including traditional interview-based, observational, or expository films; experimental and hybrid documentaries; and personal, portrait, and essay films.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Sheri Ptolemy<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cThe First Time I Thought I Was Fat\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A 25-year-old college student reconciles with her disordered eating habits and seeks healing during a pandemic.<br \/>\n\u201cAudience Choice\u201d winner (in class)<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sheri Ptolemy - \u201cThe First Time I Thought I Was Fat\u201d\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MOs7oCJk95k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Fiona Firby<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cCOVID-19 and the Music Industry in the Okanagan\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a full year of adapting to COVID-19 restrictions, businesses and performers in the Okanagan Valley music industry grapple with how each might sink or swim.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fiona Firby - \u201cCOVID-19 and the Music Industry in the Okanagan\u201d\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Lg7NkTQLwo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Olivia Fang<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cSpring Festival\u201d<br \/>\nA year after the outbreak of the COVID 19, how did a Southern Chinese family (in Fujian) celebrate the Chinese New Year in 2021?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OliviaFang   \u201cSpring Festival\u201d\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/q5NEPlvM4K8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Jordan Pike<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cLiving Spaces\u201d<br \/>\nA gritty and striking visual exploration of abandoned spaces reflects on ideas of home, memory, and ephemerality.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jordan Pike \u201cLiving Spaces\u201d\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Aw5x-G8p2ww?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Ayush Pratap<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cBlue Hills\u201d<br \/>\nA regular phone call between a mother and son reveals how social connections and interactions have transformed since the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ayush Pratap \u2013 \u201cBlue Hills\u201d\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HX8Ioe-cX0o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Isabel Su<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cArriving with Faith\u201d<br \/>\nA Taiwanese ex-pat\u2019s account of her new frontier as she searches to belong, while having faith her destination will be revealed.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Isabel Su \u2013 \u201cArriving with Faith\u201d\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iLtesXowWz8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Maura Tamez<\/h4>\n<p>\u201cOur Memory\u201d<br \/>\nA navigation of Maura Tamez\u2019s family cultural heritage and matrilineal ways that have traveled across borders from Nde ancestral territory (U.S. Southwest) to Sqilxw lands.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Maura Tamez \u2013 \u201cOur Memory\u201d\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/01fUAgXsOs4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Documentary films by students in FILM 371 This third year course in Digital Documentary Production introduces students to the theory and practice from the point of view of producer, writer, and director of documentary filmmaking.
