See Campus MovieFest Filmmakers on Oct. 12
The first ever Campus MovieFest began with a bang Tuesday when 55 groups of students, including various classes and clubs, began a week of shooting their five minute short films. This coming Thursday, the top 16 films created will have their screen debut competing for great prizes at the Sonoma State Finale at Spreckels Performing Arts Center at 7:30. on Oct. 12. The evening is free to all.
Awards will be presented for Best Comedy, Best Drama, and Best Film. Other honors awarded to Sonoma State students will include Audience Choice and the finalists chosen for the Turner Classic Movie’s Classic Short. The audience will be invited to vote by text message for their favorite short of the evening and the Audience Choice award will be announced on the website in the days following. One of the most exciting aspects of the evening is the announcement of the TCM Classic Short finalists from SSU in their search for the next classic film to withstand the test of time – any genre and any style will be eligible.

Hammond Tells of Systems Science
Conference Experience
Debora Hammond of Hutchins presents a talk entitled, "Complexity,
Democracy and Sustainability: Reflections on the 50th Conference
of the International Society for the Systems Sciences" at noon on
Wednesday, Oct. 11, as part of the Arts and Humanities Forum held in Schulz
3001.
The theme for this 50th anniversary conference, "Complexity, Democracy
and Sustainability," was an attempt to capture some key dimensions
in the evolution of the systems field. Through images created by graphic recorders,
photographs, and selected slides from presentations, Hammond will attempt
to share some of the excitement of the week.
