department, a lot of heavy lifting comes through bureaucratic means, organizing the event, choosing the films,” he said. “I have to approve of many things, but this is something that happens in collaboration with multiple people, and I certainly didn’t do all the work.”

Tara Smithson, a professor of French at Saint Mary’s also spoke highly of the collaboration that went into setting up the film festival.

“It’s been a collaboration amongst our department and our department members,” she said. “Marie Claire Ferretti is a student who has been really instrumental in the organization and publicizing of this event.”

She highlighted Nathan r abalais, the director of one of the films that will premiere at the film festival as well. “The director of the third film that we’re showing, ‘Finding Cajun,’” she said. “He will zoom in and I am really excited that he’s

“We do not fully know how much Judicial Council supervises our Instagram accounts,” Jung said. “but we try to make sure that we follow all Judicial Council rules and regulations in regard to our posts. Additionally, Judicial Council actively follows our account.”

Al tickets have restrained themselves from negative campaigning or personal attacks against competing ticekts, focusing instead merely on policy issues that affect students directly.

“one of our ticket’s main goals is to ensure that all students feel included and at home at Notre Dame,” McAndrew said. “As such, we have done our best to avoid engaging in negative campaigning or attacking our opponents. I am glad the other two tickets have largely done the same, which has made this election cycle surprisingly uncontroversial.”

In their Instagram account, the Jung-rezner ticket featured the candidates making multiple “challenges” after receiving certain numbers of petitions, as well as to promote their campaign at large. These videos include the candidates culminates in the final talk, “NIL and Sport Marketing: Complementary or Conflict of Interest?,” which will be held in Mendoza room 258 and presented by Jonathan Jensen, an associate professor of sport administration in the department of exercise and sport science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Smithson additionally spoke about why she finds the film festival to be so important. “I hope people will connect with others beyond their classes and potentially beyond our campus community who also share an investment in these issues as well as the language,” she said. “For people who haven’t had a lot of language experience, they might not be used to thinking of these things through the lens of another national viewpoint.”

For Smithson, she believes the film festival will allow people to open their eyes and learn about cultures they aren’t all too knowledgeable about. “For many people, watching a film in another language is a new experience,” she said. “A lot of what we’re doing is trying to make that kind of cultural experience excessive as well as help students connect to people who speak these languages.”

“We believe our challenges at the start of the petitioning period set the tone of what our campaign would be like,” Jung said. “We want to be approachable, and we believe that these social media videos humanize us in a way that no other resource can.”

McAndrew chose to comment on remarks made on his ticket on the anonymous campus apps YikYak and Fizz.

“While these sites may fly under the radar for many students,” he said, “our ticket was the subject of a vicious misinformation and attack campaign over the last week and a half.”

Nonetheless, McAndrew believesthisonlypromotedhisticket’s platform, as students became interested in their policies.

“I would say that the hateful (and anonymous) comments actually generated far more attention and support for our ticket than we would have had otherwise, and they likely encouraged students to look at our platform themselves,” he said.

The Williams-brooke ticket declined to comment for this story.
