Meet the alum who collected, kept, and now donated back 240 early CalArts posters to the Graphic Design program.
Berkolds, co-director of the VoiceArts Program, was awarded the Trīszvaigžņu ordenis (Order of the Three Stars) by Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs.
This year’s lineup highlights global filmmaking talent and includes projects with contributions from CalArtian cast and crew, showcased across a variety of categories.
24700 caught up with Hand (Film/Video 02) and Derrick Jr. (Film/Video 04) to discuss the film before a special screening in the Bijou.
Among the lineup are world premieres by Matthew Lax (Film/Video-IM MFA 16) and Rajee Samarasinghe (Film/Video MFA 16).
The four CalArtians were selected from a competitive pool of 120 global applicants.
