Sirena in Film Festivals

We are happy to say the ETC student project film Sirena will be shown in two different film festivals next month. On November 2 the Pittsburgh Shorts Festival will show the student animation at 10:30 am at the Southside Works Cinema in Pittsburgh. The PA Indie Shorts Film Festival will show Sirena the same day, at the Pocono Cinema & Cultural Center in East Stroudsburg, PA at 1:45 pm.

The five person student animation studio produced the short during the spring 2019 semester. The animated short is based on the myth ‘Sirena of Guam’. During the semester the team’s focus was to use believable hair and water simulation to immerse audiences in Serina’s tale. The previous ETC animation team, ‘Studio Duat’, handled Sirena’s pre-production.
