ABOUT THE BRIGHT LIGHTS FILM SERIES
The Bright Lights Film Series is sponsored by the Department of Visual and Media Arts at Emerson College.

These events range from screening of student, faculty and alumni work to the work of local, national and international artists as well as demonstrations, lectures, discussions and presentations by industry professionals. Bright Lights seeks to create an environment where visual media is not only viewed and appreciated but where a dialogue is fostered and a community of media makers, academics and aficionados are engaged and supported.
