Delta Film Academy students will show off their work at a Red Carpet Showcase Gala this Friday.
About 25 films will be shown, including a selection of this year’s work, and will end with a screening of a collaborative half-hour short film entitled Tripped Up, which can be described as Mean Girls meets Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, explains Delta Film Academy coordinator Jennifer Harbott.
The films range in story format from abstract to linear, dramatic to comedic, and explore themes of community, creativity, focus, challenge and trust, she adds.
“I am really proud of the group of filmmakers, actors and artists that have developed this year. With every project and task they have wrestled and pushed through what was at first ‘hard’ and created stories that are powerful and entertaining,” says Harbott.
The event will be held at South Delta Secondary’s Equinox Theatre. There will be refreshments at 6:30 p.m. while screenings start at 7 p.m. Admission is free with donations accepted at the door.
