Gardiner Gala

This is one of the annual Vic events which was able to return this year! This took place on February 2nd at the Gardiner Museum. The night was an opportunity to appreciate student art as there were 20 photos displayed which were chosen as the winners of the Gardiner Gala Photo Contest. Additionally, a student band played jazz for the evening and guests were free to give themselves tours of the museum to appreciate all the beautiful ceramics that live there.

UofTiff

This is a film festival happening on March 25th and will involve screening all of the entered short films. The submission period commences from March 1st until March 24th at 11:59pm. The event provides students with the option to create their own short film. There are two options for students to participate in, either shoot their short film on a phone (historically most have been around 5 minutes). The other option involves using a professional camera to shoot their film (historically most in this category are around 15 minutes). There will be a submission form in our Instagram bio for students to submit their short films. The short films will be judged by the Commission and we will be awarding category prizes for best short film shot on a phone and best short film shot on a professional camera. The winners will be announced on our Instagram.
