For the third year in a row, the Traverse City Film Festival will screen a series of short films created by students from Michigan State University. The shorts will be screened at The Buzz, the cinematic venue located at InsideOut! Gallery. The films were put together by faculty and students from MSU’s College of Communication Arts & Sciences and the College of Arts & Letters.
On Friday at 3 p.m., four films will be shown back-to-back for a 93 minute total running time. The filmmakers themselves will be present at the screening.

- From Flint: Voices of a Poisoned City:Â This documentary is a firsthand account of the Flint residents affected by the water crisis and the organizations working to improve their lives. Directed by Elise Conklin.
