The work of three current students from Duke’s Master
of Fine Arts in Experimental and Documentary Arts program will
be on view this weekend in the venerable Views
from the Avant Garde at the 50th
Annual New York Film Festival: Marika Borgeson, Erin Espelie and
Talena Sanders join faculty members David Gatten and Shambhavi Kaul in
screening work.
NYFF's Views from the Avant-Garde is one
of the most prestigious venues for artist-made moving image work in the
United States. "To have three of our MFA students featured at the New York
Film Festival while still in graduate school speaks volumes about the
strength, creativity, and power of our students," notes MFA|EDA program
director Thomas Rankin. "It shows the uniqueness of our program and affirms
how in under two years of a new MFA program we are attracting and mentoring
serious and important film artists."
The MFA|EDA is thrilled to
congratulate this year's participants:

A unique initiative, the MFA
in Experimental and Documentary Arts (MFAEDA) at Duke
University couples experimental visual practice with the
documentary arts in a rigorous two-year program. For more than three
decades, Duke has demonstrated leadership in documentary arts, film and
video, and visual studies. Drawing upon this commitment to the arts, as
well as the University’s existing strengths in historical,
theoretical and technological scholarship, the MFAEDA offers a distinct
learning environment that sees interdisciplinary education as a benchmark
for significant innovation.
More information on the program,
faculty, curriculum and application guidelines are available on the MFAEDA
website at mfaeda.duke.edu.
