Annual Phantom Film Festival to Premier at Gusman Center on May 17

The Design and Architecture Senior High (DASH) Annual Phantom Film Festival finally has a home in line with the quality of its students cinematic offerings – The Historic Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts!

On May 17, the 11th Annual Phantom Film Festival will begin a new decade at the Historic Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts located at 174 East Flagler Street, Miami.  Tickets are $10 pre-sale at the school, $10 at the door the night of the screening or available through Ticketmaster, http://www.ticketmaster.com/. The festival begins at 7 p.m.

Since its humble beginnings 10 years ago at the historic Lyric Theatre, DASH’s Annual Phantom Film Festival has steadily grown, selling out every theatre it plays in, including last year at the Colony Theatre. “It seemed only natural that the next step up would be to the Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts,” added Tim Pike, Lead Film/Entertainment Teacher at DASH.

For 10 years the DASH Annual Phantom Film Festival has provided the Film/Entertainment Technology students at DASH with a public venue to showcase their quality, award winning films.

The Phantom Film Festival also serves as an important fundraiser. Proceeds from ticket sales serve multiple needs; for scholarships to students continuing their education in Film/Entertainment Technology (ET), it gives DASH the opportunity to buy equipment and software to keep the Film/ET program current with college expectations.

DASH Film students continue to be recruited and accepted into the top films schools in the United States.  A partial list of colleges where alumni from the DASH Film program are currently majoring in film studies includes NYU Tisch, USC, FSU, SVA, Miami-Dade, RIT, UNC Arts and Art Center in Pasadena.
