Six short films by UCSC students will be presented as part of the 2007 Santa Cruz Film Festival on Saturday, April 28, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Rio Theater. UCSC film students mentored students from three local high schools--San Lorenzo, Aptos, and Watsonville--to create documentary film shorts based on socially relevant local issues. The students worked closely with teachers James Kallas, San Lorenzo High; Jenny Angelacos, Aptos High; and Huve Rivas, Watsonville High.
Friends, & Love, a film by UCSC student Austin Hartman, will also be screened later that evening at 7:30 p.m. at the Rio Theater. The 6th annual Santa Cruz Film Festival runs April 19-28.
