The showcases will present 35 short films over the four timeslots. The audience can expect eight to ten films ranging from 3 to 26 mintues, with each showcase lasting around 2 hours.

“We’re ready to bring Mountainfilm back in-person to Pueblo and Southern Colorado this year and for years to come. The recent addition of Spanish subtitled films [Saturday evening] as an option for our audience along with improvements we’ve made to the department’s facilities and program make this an ideal time to welcome the community back to the campus of 吃瓜官网” said Jon Pluskota, Chair of Media & Entertainment. “Not only are the films great, but students from SOCO Student Media will also gain hands-on experience running the event, which is a centerpiece to our program,” Pluskota said.
