25 FLEFFistas will write about how the festival changed their thinking, their art, their writing, and their ideas about the environment.
25 for 25 is a project to celebrate how the FLEFF has impacted participants and festival staff to think differently about the environment.
Contributors recount their experiences of FLEFF screenings, concerts, roundtables, master classes, events, and programming.
The 25 for 25 team is Leah Shafer, Editor; Rachel Schaff, Assistant Editor; Rachael Geary ‘01, Editorial Assistant; and Rachel Rosenberg ‘01, Editorial Assistant.
Shafer is Associate Professor in the Media and Society Program at Hobart and Willliam Smith Colleges; Schaff is the Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in Screen Studies in the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College.
