Wayne State University Film Tech Fair - (State Hall) June 23, 2012

DETROIT-- Wayne State University will be presenting a student film festival alongside the Detroit Windsor International Film Festival, all highlighted by the Tech-Fair to be held on campus. “The Tech-Fair on Saturday is all about education,” said Kelly Gottesman, WSU Moving-Media’s coordinator.

The Tech-Fair will take place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 23 at State Hall on the campus of Wayne State University. An array of free classes, workshops and panel discussions reflecting current practices in the film industry will be offered. Movie presentations and shorts will be shown all weekend including an outdoor screening Saturday at dusk in the Gullen Mall area behind the Community Arts building.

The Moving-Media film celebration and competition announces its third consecutive year in partnership with the Detroit-Windsor International Film Festival. It is the fifth year for the DWIFF. The DWIFF is fast becoming one of America’s cutting edge film festivals. The association with WSU is helping platform some of the newest and most diverse voices of independent film.

Part of the mission of Wayne State’s College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts is to carry on the tradition and leadership of great filmmaking practices. “For the first time in Moving-Media history, we have decided to offer a high school category,” said Gottesman, who teaches at Wayne State.
