DESCRIPTION:8th annual screening of Soc Doc graduate films at Del Mar Theatre\n\nMay 
 29, 2014\nBy Scott Rappaport \n\nUC Santa Cruz presents the eighth annual 
 exhibition of thesis films from the Film and Digital Media Department’s 
 masters program in Social Documentation on Wednesday, June 11, at the Del 
 Mar Theater in downtown Santa Cruz.\n\nFive engaging documentary films will 
 be presented, beginning at 6 p.m. The student filmmakers will each be in 
 attendance and available after the screenings to discuss their 
 films.\n\nAdmission is free, and the public is invited.\n\nThis year’s 
 Soc Doc cohort has created documentaries dealing with neglected and 
 forgotten histories, such as Jack Chapman’s photographic and video work 
 unearthing a journey of a radical American worker’s “army” in Bread 
 or Blood, and Ricardo Velasco’s film, After the Crossfire, about memory, 
 massacre and displacement in the remote village of Juradó, 
 Colombia.\n\nMarissa Kitazawa’s Legacy of Resilience traces the legacy of 
 Japanese-American social engagement across generations, while Lena 
 Jackson’s Crenshaw questions the cost of public school 
 “reconstitution” to local community members in South Los 
 Angeles.\n\nFlatlands, Alex Melhuish’s bold documentary, follows the 
 story of gun violence and survival in the Flatlands of East Oakland. 
 \n\n“The work you will see is the culmination of an intense two years of 
 immersion on the part of our students in documentary traditions and craft, 
 scholarly research and analysis, aesthetic style, and fearless 
 storytelling,” noted John Jota Leaños, Director of Graduate Studies and 
 Associate Professor of Social Documentation.\n\nSince its inception in 
 2005, UCSC’s Social Documentation Program has paired film students with 
 faculty in a wide variety of departments, enabling deep research into film 
 subjects and the roots of complex issues and cultures.\n\nStudents in the 
 program have earned grants and awards, distribution of their films, and 
 festival exposure.\n\n”These social documentaries demonstrate the work of 
 engaged scholarship and represent a new generation of media makers,” said 
  Leaños.\n\nFor more information, e-mail socdoc@ucsc.edu or call (831)
