Festosium ™ (n). A gathering that combines the best elements of a festival to showcase and a symposium to bring together a small group of scholars and artists to engage with intellectual and creative work.
MDOCS hosts the Festosium weekend each year during the second weekend of the Storytellers' Institute. The 2017 Festosium will be held June 9-11, 2017, with filmmakers, audio creators, visual artists, and academics presenting recent documentary work that interrogates the importance of Space & Place in documentary.
Events will be hosted at the Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum, Davis Auditorium, Gannett Auditorium, Falstaffs and other venues on the Skidmore College campus.
All events are free and open to the public. Full schedule and details are available here: http://mdocs.skidmore.edu/storytellers/festosium/schedule/
