"Architecture + Education" Student Work Exhibit
This Friday, a group of Buffalo Public School students will hold an exhibit of their works created within an Architecture in Education project they've worked on all semester long through a special partnership between architects, teachers, and students.
In the midst of a period that sees many schools in the District being redesigned and rebuilt through the Joint Schools Construction momentum, this project presents a learning opportunity for the children from an otherwise confusing transition process. What better time to bring the architects in to work with students in order to make the chaos of temporary schools and entirely new classrooms a means for creative thinking and learning?
Featuring work created by Buffalo students at Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts, Hutchinson Technical High School, Discovery School, and Waterfront Elementary. This project is a collaboration between the Buffalo Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the Buffalo Public School Dis…

The full description is below, but the tagline "A musical comedy set in the fast-paced, fast-food world of competing falafel stands in the West Bank," pretty much says it all. Following is the feature film Thre…

Buffalo International Jewish Film Festival Enters its 22nd Season
So, we celebrated the Buffalo-Niagara Film Festival (BNFF), and the Buffalo International Film Festival (BIFF) is on the way -- but there's another Buffalo film festival that you may not have heard of -- The Buffalo International Jewish Film Festival. Sponsored by the Jewish Community Center of Greater Buffalo, the festival is one of the oldest of its kind in the nation, with co-chairs Ruth Goldman and Michael Silverman and the Film Festival Committee developing the content for this year’s Festival and adding to Buffalo’s rich pageant of artistic events.
Film takes a very special place in the heart of a culture, capturing stories in both visual and verbal form in a way that few other mediums can -- it preserves history, explores emotions, and illustrates the subtle dynamics of human relation on we don’t even know we’re experiencing. A film festival of this caliber and d…

A Summer’s Worth of Film: The 48-Hour Film Festival Visits Buffalo
June 18th is about three days before the official kick off of summer. This day stands out above the other Mondays, because this is first day to sign up for the 48-Hour Film Festival in Buffalo. Will you be tired of big crowds and walking around in art festivals and partying in the square every Thursday by then? Me neither, but if putting together a group of friends and creating a film from the screenplay to the final edit, over the course of 2 days does not sound like fun, I do not know what does. “This is something for fun,” explains Eric Ayotte, director of the Gadabout Traveling film festival and local producer for the 48-Hour Film Festival, “groups come together and make a film. A novice would have fun with it, not knowing how long it’ll take to make a film—anyone can come along and do it.”
Here is how it works: each team, which can be as small as one per…
