Over at The Stanford Daily, Bhumikorn Kongtaveelert writes:

I spent my Sunday afternoon in a small arthouse theater, soaking in the warmth of the MFA program’s nine thesis films event. Hosted at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, each of the films explored themes of adaptation, discovery and nostalgia with nuance, vulnerability and, at times, humor. Sharing the backdrop of surviving the pandemic and the search for community during an uncertain times, the films showcase the different aspects of navigating struggles, collapsing empires and seeking simple joys of being human in a society that hadn’t had time to slow down and reconnect with itself.

In addition, Lydia Weil wrote about the work of recent MFA alum Paloma Martinez ('18), and Kathlynn Yao interviewed current 2nd year student Connor O'Keefe ('22) about Imagine a Body, his 1st year Spring quarter film set to be released by The New Yorker.
