Student Documentaries Screening
May 6, 2016, 4:00 PM
FreeJoin us to watch short films made by students enrolled in the Integrated Studies 224 seminar on Global Maine.
While Maine remains the whitest state in the union, demographic trends are rapidly changing many regions. Refugees, asylum seekers, medical and high-technology workers, undocumented farmworkers, and guest workers in the hospitality industry are transforming urban and rural areas alike. Integrated Studies 224 introduces the diversity of immigrant experiences in Maine through ethnographic readings as well as collaborative documentary work with immigrant and immigrant-support organizations. It provides training in documentary techniques and the opportunity to create films with immigrant and immigrant-support community partners in Lewiston and Portland.
