The USC School of Social Work Film Festival showcases short documentary films created by social work students.
Attempting to engage the humanistic and prophetic imagination, the SOWK 687
elective class, Media in Social Work, empowers students to make a difference in their communities through the use of the short documentary, ultimately be shared with larger audiences for behavior and attitude modification regarding marginalized groups. Believing that the best films and videos are made in close collaboration with other creative members, students work in small groups to produce, direct and edit a short documentary on a wide variety of issues.

This year's festival will showcase films from the San Diego and Orange County academic centers (May 6, 6 pm to 9 pm, at Media Arts Center San Diego, 2921 El Cajon Blvd., San Diego, CA 92104) and University Park Campus students (May 7, 2 pm to 5 pm, at Sealy G. Mudd Room 123).
