The Media + Idea Lab Film Festival draws mainly from shorts produced by students in the CSER course “Video as Inquiry” but also from other student projects across campus.
The Center’s Media and Idea Lab (MIL) consists of a series of courses and programs that employ media, particularly visual media, as a mode of inquiry. Key in this effort is the development of a lab environment in which students, faculty, and visitors can jointly participate in trying out ideas and creating knowledge communities through media. Students can also develop different types of projects, including curatorial, video, and web.
