Fireworks and saltwater taffy are a sure sign that the JUMP Society Summer Film Festival is right around the corner. The deadline this year is July 18th and screenings will begin the following weekend at UAS, the Silverbow, and possibly even the newly renovated Goldtown Nickelodeon.

If you’ve got a film in the can, please bring it down to Lucid Reverie in the Emporium Mall. If you’re still hard at work, you’ve got plenty of time to put something together… and you should! If you’ve always thought about making a film for the festival, this is your year. Get out that camera, dust off that script, and get to work!

A big thanks to everyone who came out to the Coraline puppet making and animation workshop this past weekend. You assembled some very cool armatures and wonderful clay heads. I’m hoping to see some inspired stop motion for the film festival this summer!

If anyone needs any spare parts or wants to pick up some more aluminum wire, we’ve got a pretty good pile of leftover supplies to pick through.

Thanks also to Georgina Hayns and Mark Gaiero for their hard work in preparing for the event and to the Friends of the Juneau Libraries for making it all possible.

The Alaska Ocean Film Festival explores our varied connections to the ocean with 11 short films on saltwater adventure, marine science, and coastal cultures.

The show is at the Silverbow Backroom on Sunday March 22nd at 7pm. Admission is free but space is limited and tickets can be picked up at the Juneau Arts and Humanities Council.
