Welcome to Spring Semester 2013!

We hope your semester is progressing along nicely. Lots of good things are happening in RTVF. For example:

Congratulations to Dr. Drew Todd who's article, "Marked Woman (1937) and the Dialectics of Art Deco in the Classical Gangster Genre" recently appeared in the peer-reviewed, online journal Film, Fashion & Consumption (1.3, December 2012). For details about this, go to the RTVF Blog at www.sjsu.edu/rtvf

Some RTVF screenwriters also won awards at the Broadcast Education Association competition (we will post the details—with photos—in a few days).

Next week begins the Cinequest Film Festival (www.cinequest.org) to check out the schedule and mark your calendars to attend the event SPOTLIGHT ON SPARTAN FILMS

March 5th, 9:30p.m. at the San Jose Rep (big blue building across the street from campus near the Fairmont Hotel). For more information click here.
