To help start off the spring semester, the Residence Hall Association is introducing its very own television channel. Cinema 15 will show movies chosen by students each month.
Different selections will run throughout the day and classics such as “Rudy,” “Braveheart” and “The Wedding Singer” will be featured along with newer releases like “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” “Eat, Pray, Love” and “Inception.”
Many locations may not have the channel programmed into their televisions and viewers will need to scan through channels for Cinema 15 to appear instead of manually entering the channel number. This can be done using the scan feature on a television’s setup menu, called auto program channels, channel scan, or something similar to that.
For help finding the scan feature or Cinema 15, students can e-mail [email protected] with the manufacturer of their television and model number.
Cinema 15 would also like to give students a chance to display any of their own work, such as film projects, original artwork or music, on the air as well. Submissions can be sent to the channel’s e-mail address and will be shown in between movies after they are approved.
“I have heard about the channel, and I think it is a great idea for a campus as big as ours,” said Clinton Graham, a senior majoring in graphic design who works at Burke Residence Hall. “It is fun and entertaining and also a great way for student work to get exposed, especially for someone like me in graphic design.”
Students will also have a chance to submit fliers for upcoming events they want advertised. Fliers should be sent to the Cinema 15 address at least ten days before the event will take place. Suggestions for movies to show in upcoming months can also be sent in for consideration.
“Cinema 15 sounds like a really good way to bring people together on campus,” said Kara Feeney, a junior majoring in interior design. “The fact that students get to recommend movies is the best part, and I think it will keep people interested in what is being shown.”
The movie schedule will be the same each week throughout the month, so if students miss a movie they want to see, there are always plenty of chances to watch.
