The Film festival showed several different short independent films. The first one was a behind the scenes of Willie Wanka and the Chocolate Factory, it was the oompa loompas. The one that stood out the most though was one where a guy paid another guy to shoot him so that he would have a scar. He grew up in the suburbs with a good life and kept talking about how people oppress him because of his scars and that he feels like the world puts him down. It was interesting but at the same time the videos kept going. I really just found myself wanting the festival to end. The shorts were not very interesting to me and while some had a profound meaning, they weren’t able to catch my attention effectively enough to have me really be interested. I would rate the film festival a 5 out of 10. Some of the videos were very compelling but many weren’t effective in what they were trying to relay.
