UT student docs get national showcase
Short documentaries by University of Texas film students will be airing nationally on The Documentary Channel beginning in spring in a special partnership between the cable channel and the UT Documentary Center — a deal that was three years in the making.
According to UT, “The Documentary Channel will have exclusive U.S. broadcast rights to select films from UT student documentary filmmakers for 18 months. These films will be showcased on The Documentary Channel’s ‘DOC U,’ a platform for student work, during the first quarter of 2010.”
The first four films to be broadcast are Ruth Fertig’s “The Cockroach Project,” Berndt Mader’s “Pay Dirt,” Christina Kim’s “Dreams in All Sizes” and Anthony Penta’s “A Casebook on Remote Viewing”.
The shorts were made in Radio-TV-Film classes and picked by a panel of RTF faculty and Documentary Channel programmers. The Documentary Channel is HERE.
