48-Hour Film Festival yields three student films
“Fast, exciting, creative,” were three words Bowdoin Film Society (BFS) co-President Monica Das ’14 used to describe last weekend’s 48-Hour Film Festival.
The Festival, which began in 2008, challenges students to dedicate a single weekend to making a movie. As the name of the festival implies, participants have only 48 hours to write, cast, shoot and edit a 10-minute film. Prizes for each movie are awarded at a screening the following weekend.
BFS co-President Isabelle Franks ’14 says that the festival provides a unique opportunity for students to get involved in filmmaking while at Bowdoin.

McKee Grant winners Blomgren ’14, García ’15 exhibit summer projects
For 2013 McKee Photography Grant winners Max Blomgren ’14 and Celina García ’15, artwork is about examining the world in a nuanced and creative way.
The McKee Photography Fund was endowed in 2003, named after the retirement of Bowdoin photography professor John McKee. First established in 2008, the grant awards one or two students with $1,000 to supplement expenses in a photography project over the summer. Upon returning to campus, the students are expected to display their work and give a presentation about their summer experience.
Blomgren has been interested in photography since high school, focusing on black-and-white darkroom photography.
