Join student filmmakers from Las Cruces Public Schools as they unveil their own movies for the first time on the big screen. The event is free to the public. This year, more than 200 student produced films and broadcast videos were submitted for the Tell the Story LCPS Film Showcase. The theme for this year is Motion Picture Roundup.
The second annual Tell the Story LCPS Film Showcase will be held on March 20-21 at Cineport 10, Allen Theatres. LCPS will be rolling out the red carpet for student filmmakers, families, and the community as we celebrate a night of cinema.
The film showcase committee selected more than 80 films/broadcast entries to be shown on the big screen at Cineport 10, Allen Theatres. Judges from the committee reviewed each film looking for high scores in story/plot, continuity, character development, entertainment value, creativity, editing, sound, lighting, directing and acting.
The Tell the Story LCPS Film Showcase will be divided into two competitions, the 168 and 48-hour film competition. The 168-hour film competition is exclusive to LCPS filmmakers at the elementary and middle school level. The challenge is to come up with a storyline, write, act, film, produce, and edit their movies all within the 168-hour deadline. On top of that, each film must incorporate a prop selected by the committee.
Student filmmakers at the high school level have the same guidelines; however, they must complete their films within 48 hours.
The red carpet event will begin at 5p.m. in the lobby at Cineport 10 on March 20-21. The showing for student-produced films will begin at 6p.m. and at 7:15p.m.on both nights.
The student-produced submissions for the 168 and 48-hour film competition will be showing at 7:15p.m. on March 21 only.
Please see the attached program for a list of student produced movie showings in order by theatre.
