School of Film Fall Showcase

School of Film Fall Showcase Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 7 PM at the Athena Cinema. The Ohio University School of Film is proud to present the annual Fall Showcase, featuring 16 original short films created by undergraduate and graduate film students. The showcase highlights the work of student filmmakers in various stages of their academic careers as they refine their craft and expand their approaches to visual storytelling. Through experimentation with form, structure, and voice, students create films that are bold, imaginative, and emotionally resonant. These works reflect the development of their emerging artistic identities and a commitment to creative and personal expression. The program features a mixture of narrative and experimental films that explore themes of friendship, love, loss, nostalgia, transition, quiet revolution, and metamorphosis. Many projects were created in collaboration with students from the School of Theater and members of the Ohio University and Athens communities. Featuring films by: Lindsey Acker, Griffin Alexander, Sophia Alleman, Luis Avery, Nathaniel Bellasea, Yassine Bouhouch, Wes Donnelly, Izzy Gardner, Luc Gilchrist, Kallisto Langdon, Sina Mahdavi, Mostafa Akbari Manjili, Negin Mohajerani, Cait Rowe, Kam Smith, and Mishal Waqar.
