Sealth student's films featured in SIFF showing May 17
Tue, 05/17/2011
Two students from Chief Sealth High School will have their films projects screened May 17 at SIFF Cinema, 321 Mercer St. at 6 p.m. The animations were created over the course of the school year, with cutting edge multimedia tools as part of the Adobe Youth Voices program.
-Technicolor Love by Rachel Townsend– a stop motion animation about two people who fall in love in a dream and then embark on a quest to find each other in reality
- Love Stems by Brooke Sarver – a stop motion animation about love lost and found
Rachel Townsend’s film, Technicolor Love, was selected by Seattle International Film Festival to be screened with a feature film during the festival.
A total of 23 short films will be screened tonight, by youth from all over Seattle, focused on subjects ranging from love, wars and violence, to the dangers of underage drinking. The common thread in the lives of these youth is Adobe Youth Voices – a program with a growing presence in Seattle that is transforming the lives of at-risk youth by teaching them how to create films and other creative works on urgent social issues that directly affect them.
