Career and Professional Experience CAREER AND Beyond the Classroom: SAIC Internships Beginning in Fall 2016, SAIC students have two ways to earn course credit for PROFESSIONAL internships. Both options provide students the opportunity to extend their education beyond the classroom and gain experience in professional arts-related environments. EXPERIENCE You can participate in an internship during the fall, spring, or summer semester. (Students on academic probation are not eligible to participate). Our traditional internship model incorporates 210 hours of work and one-on-one advising with a faculty member. Our new option is Professional Practice 3900: Internship as Professional Experience, a weekly 2-hour class that includes a minimum of 150 hours of work experience. Since both options provide credit, students must register and tuition is charged. Either option satisfies studio and/or off-campus credit. The Professional Practice 3900 class also satisfies the Professional Practice requirement. Internship positions may be paid or unpaid and many internships with participating non-profit organizations are paid through the Work Study Program.

  • ―Basically a True Story:‖ the Beginning Or the End, Fat Man and Little Boy, and American Remembrance of the Atomic Bomb
    ―Basically a True Story:‖ The Beginning or the End, Fat Man and Little Boy, and American Remembrance of the Atomic Bomb By Theresa Lynn Verstreater B.A. in History, December 2008, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of the George Washington University in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts January 31, 2015 Thesis directed by Charles Thomas Long Assistant Professor of History Abstract of Thesis ―Basically a True Story:‖ The Beginning or the End, Fat Man and Little Boy, and American Remembrance of the Atomic Bomb The impact of film as a vehicle for dissolution of information should not be discounted because it allows the viewer to experience the story alongside the characters and makes historical moments more relatable when presented through the modern medium. This, however, can be a double-edged sword as it relates to the creation of collective memory. This thesis examines two films from different eras of the post-atomic world, The Beginning or the End (1947) and Fat Man and Little Boy (1989), to discover their strengths and weaknesses both cinematically and as historical films. Studied in this way, the films reveal a leniency toward what professional historians might consider to be historical ―truth‖ while emphasizing moral ambiguity about the bomb and the complex relationships among the men and women responsible for its creation. While neither film boasts outstanding filmmaking, each attempts to educate the viewer while maintaining entertainment value through romantic subplots and impressive special effects.

Roger Ebert’s Film Festival 2013 April 17–21, 2013 Roger Ebert, Programmer and Host Chaz Ebert, Executive Producer Nate Kohn, Festival Director Mary Susan Britt, Associate Director More information about the festival can be found at www.ebertfest.com Mission Roger Ebert, 1964 University of Illinois Journalism graduate and Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic, comes to Urbana-Champaign each spring to host Ebertfest. The mission of Roger Ebert’s Film Festival is to praise films, genres and formats that have been overlooked by audiences, critics and distributors. Each year, Mr. Ebert selects 12 films representing a cross-section of important cinematic works. They include films without distributors, independent and studio films that did not win wide audiences, formats such as 70mm, silent films, and overlooked genres like the documentary. The films are screened in the 1,500-seat Virginia Theatre, a restored movie palace built in the 1920s. Festival guests who help showcase the features include producers, writers, actors and directors. Following each screening, Mr. Ebert leads discussions with the filmmakers for general audi- ences, distributors and critics from around the world. There are also a number of campus wide panel discussions featuring Mr. Ebert, festival guests and academic scholars. We work to keep the festival small enough so that a sense of community can develop among the audience, filmmakers, guests, students and scholars. The festival is a non-profit event of the College of Media at Illinois.
