Annual Film Festival Returns With a Splash in 2005
Festival sponsors Apple Computer and Mole-Richardson helped to renew the annual PCC Film Festival Thursday night, June 9, 2005 after a several year hiatus. The festival venue, the Forum, played host to over a hundred film buffs, cinema students, and dignitaries including Alex Kritselis, Dean of the Division of Visual Art and Media Studies, and Dr. James Kossler, President of PCC.
The festival showcased a variety of PCC student films. Creators of the top films received gift certificates from renown Hollywood lighting company Mole-Richardson. (See results below) The festival also showcased the top entries in the film competition, L.A., Minute by Minute, which was part of the slate of activities held under the auspices of the semester's campus-wide theme, What Drives L.A. (See results below) Winners of two categories enjoyed receiving a year-long Universal City Studios pass, a $50 gift certificate to the ArcLight cinemas in Hollywood, Apple's Final Cut Express editing software, and a $200 gift certificate to the famous Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills.
Congratulations to all the filmmakers, thanks to all the audience members, and a special thanks to our sponsors! We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

New Cameras for Beginning and Intermediate Students!
Beginning Filmmaking and Intermediate Filmmaking PCC students will now have access to professional-quality JVC GY-X3 SVHS cameras. With professional quality 3 chip technology and professional external controls, instead of hard-to-find prosumer menus, PCC students now receive training on professional cameras and can produce professional level projects.
Feel free to ask any of the Cinema Faculty or Cinema Tech Noah Nelson if you have any questions. New Cameras for Advanced Students!
Advanced Filmmaking PCC Students will now be able to create DV projects in professional 24p format! Besides the addition of a Sony PD150 DV camera (a favorite of documentary filmmakers) to the program, three new Panasonic DVX-100a cameras will give students the option of creating in 30i, 30p, or 24p!
The DVX-100a has quickly become the camera of choice among indie feature filmmakers. So impressive is this versatile camera, many members of the prestigious American Society of Cinematographers own their own DVX-100a! Feel free to ask any of the Cinema Faculty or Cinema Tech Noah Nelson if you have any questions. Return to the top of the page.
