TU’s Fall Film Festival adds a musical twist

The annual festival returned to the Lorton Performance Center, honoring film students new and old with a showcase of films that emphasized the power of music. The University of Tulsa’s film department held its annual Fall Film Festival this Friday, Nov. 6, in the Gussman Concert Hall at the Lorton Performance Center. The program included nine films selected by the department’s faculty, each sharing the theme of music. In keeping with this theme, the festival’s organizers aimed to highlight not only the directors of the films, but their composers as well, signifying the often-overlooked importance of a scoring on film projects. The pictures that screened at the festival represented a broad range of talent from across the department’s history. The first film shown, the intimate drama “Forgery,” premiered at TU’s Spring Film Festival in 2014. It was directed by Isaac Holton, a film studies alumnus and longtime LPC employee, who was one of many laid off from the university in October.
