Randolph Community College’s photojournalism class recently created a short documentary project that was an official selection for the Long Leaf Festival in May at the North Carolina Museum of History. The weekend festival highlighted the best short- and feature-length documentary and narrative films that demonstrate a Tar Heel State connection.
“Carolina Cross,” the Photographic Technology students’ documentary on the 2017-2018 North Carolina Cyclo-Cross season, was also shown at the Praxis Film Festival in Goldsboro in May. Films selected for screening at Praxis are high quality independent films from across the United States and around the world.
Praxis organizers invited RCC Photojournalism instructor Jay Capers and RCC students Khadejeh Nikouyeh of Greensboro and Becca Benson of Raleigh to be part of a panel for festivalgoers and area high school students about filmmaking, according to Kevin Eames, department head for Photographic Technology at RCC. “The short documentary was shown with two pieces by Khadejeh as part of the eight films being discussed after viewing,” said Eames. “Also on the panel were instructors from Duke University and Elon University, an actress, filmmakers, and a graduate from the Savannah College of Art and Design.”
