CineSiege 2022
In its 20th year, CineSiege will celebrate cinema in-person at Paradise Theatre on October 24, 2022, at 7 PM. The festivities are open to AMPD community members and film lovers alike.
CineSiege features a juried selection of shorts chosen by program alumni and leading practitioners in film and media culture. Professors’ shortlist nominated films from all 170 films produced by students from all levels of the program in 2022. The nominated films include fiction, documentary and alternative works. Those chosen for CineSiege are honoured for their exceptional achievement in the art and craft of cinema.
