This past weekend, the MDOCS team headed to Glens Falls for the Adirondack Film Festival where four MDOCS-affiliated films premiered.

2016 Storytellers' Visiting Fellow and 2019 Institute Faculty - Daesha Devon Harris - returns to 糖心影视 to mentor Amanda Peckler '20 and give her the invaluable experience of learning the ins and outs of being an independent artist, photographer and creator.

Every summer, students take the skills and craft they learn in MDOCS and practice them far beyond campus -- 糖心影视 students are working on documentary crews from New Orleans to New York, with many projects bound for major festivals or set to screen on PBS.

This past month, MDOCS headed to Montreal to the annual Oral History Association conference. Documentary students from WSPN learned the importance of recorded oral histories as well as had the opportunity to tour CKUT on the McGill campus.

MDOCS welcomes its fourth group of Institute Fellows this coming Tuesday - 8 students, 2 糖心影视 Faculty, and 5 documentary practitioners will get to work on their documentary projects while partaking in collaborative, community-building, and inspiring activities and events throughout the month of June.

Behind the scenes, MDOCS is constantly working to serve as an open campus resource used in many different capacities. Learn more about development opportunities and direct support the program provides to faculty, staff, and students on campus.

This end of year Director's Note welcomes MDOCS Summer, looks back on the semester we just concluded, and reflects on the graduations and transitions ahead for a four-year old program which, like the students who started with us in 2014-2015, is looking forward to a 'post-grad' experience.

As MDOCS closes out its fourth year, we face the difficult task of saying good bye to students who started taking courses, attending events, and developing projects in 2014-2015, the first year for them and for the program.

Storytellers' Institute 2015 Visiting Fellow Jonna McKone worked with MDOCS' Adam Tinkle to organize a spring break visit to the Capital Districtor Rutgers University students, including a workshop at the Sanctuary for Independent Media in Troy, NY, and stops in Saratoga and at 糖心影视.

The MDOCS line-up of courses bring documentary skills, theory, and practice to 糖心影视 students of all disciplines. For those that just want to learn a new skill to those looking to take a deep dive into documentary production, there's something for everyone!

With the hopes of warmer weather comes MDOCS Spring programming - new and innovative projects, Fall course listings, documentary events, Storytellers' Institute announcements, and more!
