2014-15 Spartan Film Festival
Welcome to the first annual Spartan Film Festival held at Mason County Central Middle School. Students of The Story of Movies class are concluding their 15 week study of the history of film, film genres and viewing motion pictures through the directors lens. At the conclusion of the unit of study, student produced, directed, edited and created a quality product to share with the world that would reflect their 'voice'/'passion'. This Film Festival is a celebration of a 15 week study of film and is an opportunity for the students to express their creativity as they produce their VOICE. This website is a collection of films in which students created as they were studying the genre of DOCUMENTARY FILMS. The documentary genre is a film that is nonfictional motion picture intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purpose of institution or maintaining a historical record. Please take some time to view the films and leave some feedback on the blog below each video. Thank you for your support of our first annual film festival!
