STEPHENVILLE, Texas — The 18th annual Tarleton Student Film and Moving Media Festival, presented by the Departments of Visual Arts and Design and Communications Studies, is set for 4:30 p.m., Thursday, April 25 at the Tarleton State Planetarium.

The free event is open to the public. 

Each year, festival director and art Associate Professor Megan Ehrhart brings together the best work from all of the film, animation and digital media studies courses at Tarleton State.

“Last year brought our biggest crowds ever and showcased some of the strongest student work in the festival’s history. This year looks to be no different,” she said. “With Tarleton’s film and animation courses growing, this year looks to be best yet, showcasing the work of more and more talented Tarleton State filmmakers.”
