Austin Bunn, professor in the department of Performing and Media Arts, has won Best LGBTQIA+ Short Award at the Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF47) for his film "Campfire."
The film was developed after extensive ethnographic research on the Hillside campground in Susquehanna County funded by a Rural Humanities faculty grant.
"As a rural space, Hillside – forested, with its boundaries indeterminate, and resolutely off the grid – creates an opportunity for gay men to emerge from the urban frames that order and shape their identities and the technology that now manages all interactions."
Attend a free screening of the film (alongside three other short films on Rural LGBT life) on April 26, 2023 at Cinemapolis.
