Our Right to Sing - Creative State Presents

Tuesday, October 23, 2012
2:10pm

This project examines the role of music in the resistance movement of El Salvador during two decades of military dictatorship. Our Right to Sing is the first film on the musical byproduct of this collective experience, something director Carolina Fuentes witnessed firsthand as member of a musical group inspired by the principles of Liberation Theology and with the arson of the San Jose Catholic Church, where she was parishioner. After the assassination of friends and classmates, Fuentes fled from her native El Salvador to Mexico, where she lived for seven years. Fuentes, a former radio and television reporter as well as a documentary maker, will be available for questions. Free.

Fine Arts Building, Coppola Theatre

Rearranging the Syntax of a Design Vocabulary
SFSU Design and Industry students enrolled in Mimi Sheiner’s DAI-300 Design Process class over the past academic year were asked to create lamps and chairs using non-traditional, re-purposed materials. The result is not merely a showcase of technical craftsmanship. Rather, it is a series of startling and often humorous insights into a changing era of design that is shifting its vision to gaze on a greener future while demanding unconventional innovations in order for survival.

Part of the Entertainment Industry Initiative funded by the Chancellor's Office, the media internship program provides internship opportunities in a wide range of areas of the media/entertainment industry to statewide CSU students. The program operates through two centers: Internship Hollywood, based at Cal State Los Angeles for internships in Southern California, and Internship Bay Area, based at San Francisco State University for internships in the Bay Area.

Major film studios, broadcast and cable networks, television stations, independent production companies, agencies, etc, have notified us that they are currently accepting students for spring and reviewing applicants for summer.  These are highly sought-after, quality positions.   However, the special relationship that we have established with these organizations during our five years of operation gives CSU students a competitive edge. In order to take advantage of this tradition, they are encouraged to apply to the MIP as soon as possible

Last year, the California State University Media Internship Program provided almost five hundred CSU students with internships in the Entertainment Industry.  We placed students in all sorts of positions: accounting, advertising, talent agency, casting, animation, CGI, gaming, journalism and news, business, camera and cinematography, development, finance, graphic design, human resources, information technology, internet and web design, law, management, marketing, new media, music, post production, production, public relations, radio, reality TV, sales, social media, sports, set design, sound production and post, etc.

The program accepts undergraduates, graduate students, and recent graduates throughout the year including winter, spring, summer and fall.
