We'll Just Call This Wed. the 28th
Wednesday, November 28, was a very eventful day for my friends and I. First of all, we sat in line for nearly 3 hours to get free Maroon Five tickets, which we did, then we had to rush off to the Humanities Film Festival. The festival was awesome, especially Ben and Jenna's opening video, it was hilarious, and we all have to admit that Ben has got some moves. All of the videos were cool, and clearly showed the effort of the students. At the end of the evening, awards were given away. Groups won for best humanities content, most original, laugh out loud, and best in show. Not to brag or anything, but my group won best in show, and I could not have been happier/prouder. After the film festival, some of us rushed to the Union for the Winter Wonderland event where they had hot cocoa and other beverages, pastries, entertainment, pictures with an inflatable Frosty the Snowman, build your own stuffed animal, cookie decorating, and many other events for free. However, the thing that my group was most excited about was the horse drawn carriage rides, which took us up and down 12th. Overall, it was a very eventful day, packed with friends and fun. I couldn't have asked for a better Wednesday.

I also attended the Humanities Film Festival. I thought it was a really great celebration of everything that has been accomplished in the past semester. Being able to see all the other group's videos was really great, and very entertaining. I really enjoyed the film festival.
ReplyDeleteI also loved Ben and Jenna's opening video, and how they ran into the room as a continuation of their video. Its safe to say that Ben had everyone laughing. It was also great to see everyone's videos and how every group interpreted the project a little differently. It was a very fun event.
ReplyDeleteThe film festival, for me, was the culmination of this semester's seminar class. It was a great time, and I enjoyed seeing everyone's videos. I'm proud of my group for winning best in show - shout out to Les Lumieres! The tickets to Maroon 5 and the carriage rides were the icing on the cake of a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThe Humanities Film Festival was quite the event. It was really fun to see how every group interpreted the theme of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Most of the videos were very creative and interesting. I enjoyed watching them and was proud of my group for winning the "Outside the Box" award! (:
ReplyDeleteAttending the Humanities Scholars Film Festival was a rewarding experience. I was proud of the strong work that fellow scholars were able to produce, and I enjoyed watching each and every presentation. The night showcased the hard work and talent that is evident in the Humanities Scholars Program.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rachel. Everyone had different ideas on how the theme could've been conveyed. There were quite a few ideas where I never would've thought of portraying the theme like that. The film festival was great for showing how different all the groups can get on just one idea. While I'm pretty sure most groups were just concerned with the pursuit of happiness, the different videos really did convey life and liberty.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see how everyone's videos turned out. Getting to see our group's video on the big screen wasn't too bad either. Ben and Jenna did a good job pumping everyone up at the beginning, and it really had an effect on the rest of the night. It was a great night, and I don't regret going in the slightest.
ReplyDeleteI also attended the film festival. It was nice seeing all the other groups approaches to the topic chosen this year. The team that won did a really really good job with the project. Overall a very good time and i will be at all the ones in the future years.
