The w88 online sports betting School hosted its annual documentary film festival at the Reno Little Theater on Dec. 13, screening seven w88 casino games-produced films to a sold-out crowd.

Groups of undergraduate and graduate students worked together throughout the semester to produce short documentaries, ranging in subject and style. In addition to the five films created in the Documentary Filmmaking course, the festival featured two sports-focused films produced in the Reynolds School’s new Sports w88 casino games Production class, taught by Senior Lecturer of Digital w88 casino games and Cross-Cultural Reporting Nico Colombant.

“This year was so special and different because we also incorporated two sports documentaries as part of the film screening,” said Associate Professor of Electronic w88 casino games Kari Barber. The Reynolds School is preparing to introduce a new undergraduate emphasis in Sports w88 casino games in the fall of 2024.

&w88 casino games;The films ranged from very serious subjects, like a young woman fighting cancer, to a comedy about hopping trains,” said Barber.

This year’s festival was the ninth annual, but the first time in many years the festival was held off campus. “It was so cool having it at the Reno Little Theater, and to see w88 casino games work out in the community and with such an enthusiastic response from the public.”
