JONESBORO – The Delta Flix Film and Media Festival is in its third year at Arkansas State University.
The Delta Flix Film and Media Festival celebrates those who express their passion for storytelling through film, video, photography and multimedia presentations. Delta Flix Film and Media Festival provides a venue for beginning, emerging and established media artists to exhibit their work, learn from each other, and develop an appreciation for the art of film, photography, and multimedia.
The festival, sponsored by the Department of Media in collaboration with the Delta Symposium XXIII, will take place from Wednesday through Saturday, April 5‑8. Most events will take place in the Student Union Auditorium on the third floor of the Carl R. Reng Student Union, 101 North Caraway Road.
At noon on Wednesday, April 5, John T. Wayne, an author of Western historical fiction, will make a special presentation. Various media and panel presentations will continue throughout the afternoon, as well as screenings of films and media projects.
This year’s festival features films and media presentations from local and regional media makers.
