INTRODUCTION

CIN|tax is a film forum hosted by graduate students in the English department at the University of California, Riverside. This year's forum will be held on April 4, 2009 in conjunction with the annual Disjunctions Graduate Conference.

CIN|tax seeks to establish dialogue between artists and academics, providing an opportunity for filmmakers and film critics to view, discuss, and exchange in an informal setting.

After showing the featured films we invite the audience to ask questions to a moderated panel of filmmakers who attend the forum.

In keeping with the tradition established last year, we also will be giving out awards and cash prizes to filmmakers featured at the forum.
