This year, many Catlin Gabel media arts students submitted silent films, with four individuals and three duos making it to the top 46 Pacific Northwest Regional Finals. Nic Bergen ’16 got first place and a prize of $1000 in the International Youth Silent Film Festival (IYSFF).

The finalists’ films were screened at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland, Ore. Bergen’s film, “Continuous Quest,” won first place out of films from all around the world including the United States, Canada and China. The film was filmed and edited by Bergen and starred fellow classmates.

Be on the lookout for news on the public screening scheduled for June 4! If you can’t wait, below are the seven films created by Catlin Gabel students that made it to the regional finals.
