When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the University of Miami to suspend face-to-face instruction, students in the Department of Cinematic Arts were encouraged to embrace current circumstances and an intimate approach to filmmaking. Since many students returned home, they were able to produce a collection of fascinating films made in China, France, Spain, and various locations in the United States.•••
•••
All of these student-produced films, in addition to works from other classes that are focused on the current pandemic situation, will be screened online and judged by a group of international jury members on Saturday, May 9 at 4 p.m. during the COVID-19 Rapid Response Short Film Festival •••
