Montreal, April 27, 2006 – Students in the Film III (Advanced Film
Production) course will be showcasing their work at Concordia University's
H-110 auditorium in the Hall building located at 1455 De Maisonneuve. This
event will take place on Thursday May 4, 2006 and the doors will open at
7:30 pm. There will be a total of nine short films, all of which were
produced over the last 8 months and shot on 16mm color film.

The films to be screened are an eclectic bunch, ranging from dark comedy
to suspense to musical documentary. The program includes the
visually-captivating coming-of-age short, Josh and Elias, featuring music
by Montreal artists Jason Bajada and The Adam Brown. Early Bird Special
takes a peculiar twist in a satire about a jug-band record collector.
While the unconventional documentary Dumpster Divers, sings along with
tunes on recycling garbage.

The Department of Communications Studies at Concordia University is well
known as one of the leading programs of its kind in North America. Some of
the students have already had work in the Montreal World Film Festival and
Toronto's Student Shorts. The May 4th premiere is expected to be the start
of a lengthy screening run in Montreal and abroad.
