"All students have also been granted free access to Adobe Premier and received Zoom tutorials in editing video from cinema studies support instructor Kevin May. He would normally assist the class in-person in a campus media lab, but he has adapted to remote instruction, which students say has been invaluable."
Cinema Studies has been honored to bring the Harlan J. Strauss Visiting Filmmaker Series to Oregon for the past five years. Through the generosity of Harlan (PhD ’74) and Rima Strauss, the Department of Cinema Studies is the recipient of an endowment that brings successful industry filmmakers and emerging talents to campus annually to mentor students and hold public conversations.
Cinema Studies is excited to continue the engaging experience for our students and the film community this spring through a series of remote events made available in virtual formats. In addition to the remote events, Zacarias is mentoring students and guest lecturing in the spring term course “CINE 408: The Art of Producing.”
"My home office is being used by my partner, so I’ve carved out space in our guest room and Frankenstein’d it into a makeshift studio. Keep in mind — even though I am a Cinema Studies Professor — I have ZERO production experience! I’ve never made anything, ever. I’m a historian! If you need to know the history of the VCR, I’m your guy! But making a video? Um, what?
But I knew I wanted to do something interesting, engaging, and memorable for our students. For many of them, this is their last term! I just can’t have them go out without at least trying to do something fun. Besides, anyone who’s ever had my classes knows I’m just not going to do anything if it isn’t in the spirit of positivity, optimism, and enthusiasm. That’s just who I am, even now.

Hello, Cinema Studies majors!
Hello, everyone. I'm Professor Ovalle, Department Head of Cinema Studies. I just wanted to let you know that your well-being is a key concern of our faculty and staff. For these reasons and more, we are currently working hard to prepare for remote learning in early spring. I do, however, want to acknowledge that this is a stressful time and that the first few weeks of spring will undoubtedly present challenges as we all juggle new demands with concerns about our loved ones and more.
