Overload stipends are available for faculty to teach 1 credit block II mini courses for the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival.   Courses explore sustainability related topics and students attend FLEFF films and events. FLEFF will run from April 9 - April 15th, 2018. The theme for this year’s Festival is Geographies. More information about FLEFF is available at www.ithaca.edu/fleff.

Titles of mini courses in previous years include: Environmental Issues in Film, Business Stakeholders and Sustainability, Political Habitats: Narrative Film as Activism, Understanding Documentaries: A Survey of FLEFF Films, Political Landscapes: 2016 Campaign Platforms, etc. Faculty from all schools, all departments are encouraged to submit proposals.

Students in FLEFF mini courses are required to buy Festival Passes offered at a discounted price (50%) and to attend events both on campus and downtown. Faculty receive free passes and are invited to FLEFF receptions and post screening parties. Most FLEFF mini courses start after spring break but alternative schedules to normal meeting times are possible.

Please contact Warren Schlesinger, FLEFF mini course coordinator, to discuss your interest and possible topics warren@ithaca.edu or 4-3951. While the schedule of films will not be known until late February, courses with broad themes or topics should have no difficulty finding enough interesting films for students to view. Preference during this first call for proposals will be given to tenured, tenure track and nten faculty. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Faculty are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
