Doctoral Student Works

Under the Open Sky (Dir. Titus, Phadke, and Ullah, 2016)

What changes when a girls' football initiative begins to claim open public spaces to play in Mumbra, a far-flung suburb in the Mumbai Metropolitan region? Quite a lot actually! For women and girls occupying open public space in the city to play is an act of feminist claim staking. This film follows the Parcham women's football team as they play and coach a younger generation of girls, in the process transforming not just the way they see themselves and their bodies but potentially transforming the way we see our cities.

 

Undergraduate Student Works

From Stadium to Screen

The capstone project by Kaitlyn Dawson (Pitt '22) and Ethan Edelman (Pitt '22), gives a look into the incredibly exhilarating and often hectic world of sports broadcasting through the eyes of Pitt Studios. Take a look at all the ways you can get involved through the FMS major and the TVBA certificate! Ethan Edelman (Pitt '23), a FMS major with minors in philosophy/ nonfiction writing and a Television and Broadcast Arts Certificate, spent much of his undergrad in the world of creative nonfiction, working to develop his journalism skills with Pitt Athletics and the Pitt Studios post-production team.
