The Spelman College Digital Moving Image Salon (DMIS) will present the 11th Annual Digital Moving Image Salon Student Film Showcase on Thursday, April 16, 2015, at 7 p.m.

Founded by internationally award-winning filmmaker and interactive digital media artist, Ayoka Chenzira, Ph.D., DMIS is a mechanism through which the College encourages and supports the growing number of students interested in creating stories for digital media platforms.

The three student films featured at this year’s showcase will be “Rebel Dance,” produced by Taylor Curry and Carlean McWright, which explores African-American women choreographers who rebelled through dance; “For Covered Girls,” produced by Jett Bagley and Kayla St. Clair which highlights the journey of being Black, woman and Muslim; and “Flawless Feminism” produced by Briana Dixon and BriSché Fair, which discusses the exploration of Black feminism in the wake of Beyoncé.

In addition to the screenings, the DMIS Celebration of Excellence Award will be presented to Deborah Riley Draper, veteran advertising agency executive, filmmaker and award-winning director of the fashion documentary “Versailles ‘73: American Runway Revolution.”

Free and open to the public, this event will take place at the Midtown Art Cinema, 931 Monroe Drive, NE, Atlanta.
