Fountain Film Festival Announces Award-Winning Student Films
Still from "Sirens" by Alina Asylbekova from American University of Central Asia
The Fountain Film Festival, a student-led project sponsored by OSUN and Bard College Berlin, has announced audience awards that were selected from over fifteen short student films screened online May 8 and 9.
The Best Film Award went to “Sirens” by Alina Asylbekova from American University of Central Asia and the Audience Award went to “8 de Marzo” by Ariela Madera from Bard College Annandale.
“Sirens”
is a graphic retelling of the Greek myth about the supernatural creatures with bewitching voices whose vanity led to their downfall.
“8 de Marzo”
is an experimental documentary combining footage of the March 8, 2021 Women’s March in Quito, Ecuador with commentary from various women describing experiences where they felt most vulnerable and most empowered.
