Hendrix Film Society: 

A student-led group of cinephiles who program film-related events campus-wide, Hendrix Film Society screens films on campus to expand access and provide students with group cinematic viewing experiences. Screenings usually feature student or faculty introductions and are followed by casual post-screening discussions (and snacks!) that encourage students to think analytically about films as well as to share impressions and insights. Screenings have included Wild Strawberries, Meek's Cutoff, Blow-Up, Pretty in Pink, The Orphanage, Closely Watched Trains, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, In Bruge, Mean Streets, Pierrot le Fou, Harold and Maude, Brazil, Afterlife, Ace in the Hole, and many more. 

Hendrix Filmmakers: 

Though Hendrix doesn't offer credit-bearing classes in film production, students can supplement their coursework in film studies by learning with and from each other, as well as from special guests and group advisor Travis Peeples (Multimedia Technical Director). Using college- and club-owned equipment, students can write, produce, direct, and edit their own films. This spirited group serves as a production team for both an educational hands-on experience and a launching pad for Hendrix students interested in the film industry. 

Red Brick Film Festival  

Each spring since 2010, Hendrix hosts the  Red Brick Film Festival, which features award-winning short student-created films (click the link for a history of awards and films). Students can win thousands of dollars in prizes as well as the respect and esteem of the Hendrix community (and beyond!), as a jury selects winners in the following categories: Best in Show, Hendrix Senate Student Spirit, Stylistic Brilliance, Most Affective, Best Documentary, Best Writing, Best Acting, Best Original Score.  Audience members vote during the festival for the Audience Choice.

New Directors/New Films Festival

In March 2010, five students and Kristi McKim, program chair, had the opportunity (thanks to a generous grant from the Hendrix-Murphy Foundation) to attend the New Directors/New Films Festival in New York City (sponsored by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art); the intensive filmgoing experience consisted of nine feature film screenings, five short film screenings, a visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and innumerable hours of impassioned film discussion over meals, subway rides, and city walks.
