Dear CMS community,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’m thrilled to announce that two CMS majors, <b>Ellie Bradbury</b> and <b>Egan Norton</b>, will be presenting their videographic work at the Undergraduate Research Symposium this
<b>Friday, May 16, 2:30-4:00</b> in the <b>Allen Research Commons</b>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ellie’s video essay, “<b>Queer Silence</b>,” tracks the meaningful use of silence in queer cinemas of the 21st century, asking viewers to listen with care.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Egan’s video essay, “<b>Red Rabbits</b>,” examines the trigger warning in <i>
Blink Twice</i> and sexualized violence in American horror films through a desktop documentary that invites viewers to grapple with the research process as well as its possible interpretations.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please drop by the Allen Research Commons this Friday afternoon <b>at any point between 2:30-4:00</b> to see Ellie and Egan, their work, and the installations of 15 other undergraduates from an array of disciplinary perspectives accepted to the <a href="https://new.expo.uw.edu/expo/apply/736/proceedings/offering_session/1559">Visual
Arts and Design Showcase</a>. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These videographic essays were created as final projects for my CMS 321: Queer Feelings and Video Essay Production course in fall 2024. This course will be
<b>offered again in fall 2025</b> for CMS majors interested in videographic production. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>JB<br>
