Cinematic Arts MFA student Trevon Coleman will screen his videos Paper Bag Test and Difficult Donuts in the Experimental Shorts section of the 2022 Slamdance Film Festival. Coleman will also participate in the Experimental Shorts Q&A at 5PM Pacific Time/7PM Central Time on Friday 1/28.

Exploring alleyways through camera exposure and examining technological, geographic, and social exclusion, this film uses the Paper Bag Test and camera exposure principles to address the language and conventions of cinematographic technology/technique and its implications.

Difficult Donuts is a film about memory—collective and personal—and navigating surrogate spaces.
