About
The title of this remote media festival, Resilient Visions, is to honor the creativity and resilient spirit of the UW Bothell and the global community. The contemporary moment has been extremely taxing in a variety of ways. So many students are seeking to juggle school with family and work pressures even as they contend with the ways that that those pressures are further complicated by challenges at the national and international level. Time and again students have used their media practice to creatively represent their response to the world around them through fiction, nonfiction, or experimental film, and other media genres.
