Hey Mac!
LCM's second Macalester Student Film Festival is next Thursday (Dec 1st) in the Loch and we are still looking for video submissions! We will show a selection of original short films made by Macalester students on the big screen.
If you have a short video of ANY kind that you would like to share at this event, please contact us at [email protected]. Your video does not need to be of professional quality.
LCM serves as a creative outlet for students with an interest in film and shares their stories with the rest of the Macalester community through this event. Come grab some popcorn and celebrate their cinematic work with us!

CW: war, disturbing imagery...
"I found the 'My Japan' propaganda piece last year when working for New Media course, and decided to combine various footages from archive together to create a satirical video commenting on the portrayal of the obscured 'Japanese' figure after WWII.
As an international student of Asian ethnicity, I wanted the final result to connect with and express how I disturbed I felt as I went through these archive. This video reflects personal responses and in no way be able to speak for larger communities. I am open to comment for improvement and always want to learn from you and your opinions." -Dex Nguyen

This week we feature a short excerpt from Dex Nguyen's mockumentary from found propaganda archive. If you have short videos that are around 1 minute long, submit to us and we will feature your work in the upcoming weeks! Spread the news and let your friends know about us so we can share your works to more people every week.

Hey peeps!
Take a look at our first short film "Laundry Day"! It was our submission for the PB Student Film Festival this semester. Unfortunately the screening was canceled and all submissions didn't receive the attention and prize they deserve. However, we are working together with PB to host our first screening! Please send us your links and we will gather them for an official premier soon. We would love to hear more from what you think about our film, how we should organize the screening event, and what's your next expectation from us! Good luck with your finals and we wish you a great summer!
Happy Mother's day! Without you every laundry day is a battle.
