Say hello to Josh Adams, the director of SUNYWide Film Festival!  Josh and his Film Festival Practicum class have been working diligently to orchestrate the seventh annual SUNYWide Film Festival as the weekend steadily approaches.  This years festival will be held at SUNY Oswego over April 8th and 9th.

We are delighted to welcome Christine Vachon as our 2016 Keynote Speaker. One of the most influential producers in the independent film industry, Christine Vachon has been behind numerous groundbreaking American Independent films since the early 1990s. Her legacy began when she produced her first film, Todd Haynes' Poison, in 1991, which was awarded the Sundance Festival's Grand Jury Prize. That same year, Vachon produced video artist Tom Kalin's debut film, Swoon. Based on the infamous Leopold and Loeb murder case, Swoon garnered the 1992 Berlin Film Festival's Caligari Award. Some of Vachon's other credits include Still Alice (Academy Award winner), Far From Heaven (nominated for four Academy Awards), Boys Don't Cry (Academy Award winner), One Hour Photo, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Happiness, Velvet Goldmine, SAFE, I Shot Andy Warhol, Go Fish, Swoon, I'm Not There, Gigantic, Cracks and Cairo Time. In 1995, Vachon co-founded Killer Films with Pamela Koffler. This New York City-based independent film production company has received multiple awards and nominations from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the Emmy Awards, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the Independent Spirit Awards. On the occasion of Killer Films’ 10th anniversary in 2005, the company was feted with a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. In 2015, SUNY Stony Brook launched SUNY’s first-ever Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Film in partnership with Killer Films. Vachon serves as Graduate Director of the innovative three-year graduate program in narrative film. Under Vachon, students receive real-world, practical experience at an affordable SUNY tuition and an opportunity to work on movies produced by Killer Films.
