This yearâs event will also include a Q&A session following the screenings.
Blue and White Film Festival Vice President Joseph Molloy said filmmakers seem to be appreciative of the festival being back.
âI think a lot of people are just glad we re having it this semester,â Molloy (sophomore-film production) said.
Lilly Adams, who will have two films featured in this yearâs festival, said one positive from the virtual format is her parents being able to attend the event.
âPeople [who] can t usually make [the festival], or can t make the drive, or can t make the trip are able to come, even though it s through their computer â which is not a detriment,â Adams (senior-film production) said. âIt s more of a unifying thing that everyone can come.â
Rarely over the course of my college career have I cried.
Not that there haven t been moments that have called for it, and not that it hasn t been beneficial when I have.
On the contrary, I should do it more.
And so in writing this senior column, one which will likely be my last mark left on a place that has left such an indelible mark on me, I m heeding my own advice.
I can t help but be moved to tears of all types â happy, sad, regretful, grateful, humbled, worried, stressed, basically every emotion under the sun â and profoundly so, when I think about my life and what the Collegian, Penn State and the last four years have meant to me.
