This event is sponsored by our National Art Honor Society and Cooper Art Society students each year. Get a great start to your day. $10 tickets can be purchased at the door.
The inaugural INSPIRE Film Festival is February 23-26 with 17 films showing at Market Street, Tinseltown and The Woodlands Methodist Church. The founder of this film festival, the first of its kind in The Woodlands, is Cooper parent Jane Minarovic. Cooper theatre students gained insight from David Holbrooke, the director of “The Diplomat” when he spoke on campus earlier this week. This documentary is about the life and legacy of his dad, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, who served in five administrations. Another, “Life, Animated” is up for an Academy Award this Sunday and still another, “Becoming Bulletproof” is one of Ms. Minarovic’s all-time favorites. All the films are intended to be thought-provoking, uplifting and inspirational.
Cooper aerialists enhanced the opening night festivities on February 23, thanks to the direction of Elizabeth DeMonico. Instrumental students from Cooper will have the amazing opportunity on February 24, following the showing of the acclaimed film, “Landfill Harmonic,” to play with the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, a Paraguayan musical group that plays instruments made entirely out of garbage.
The Inspire Film Festival is a ticketed event. For more information on all 17 films, go to http://www.inspirefilmfest.com.
