Moving tales of humanity showcased at media degree show

Moving tales of humanity showcased at media degree show. Stories from 'the Jungle' at Calais, a multi-sensory exploration of a Holocaust survivor's childhood and an interactive box of memories for dementia patients are among the diverse projects to be featured in a student degree show at the University of Sussex. More than 70 final-year Media Practice and Theory students will see their work on display for the first time in the recently refurbished Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts at the University's Falmer campus. The exhibition, which is open to the public on Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 May (10am-8pm), includes interactive installations using digital media, photography, sound projects, screen dramas and film documentaries. Adrian Goycoolea, Head of Media, said: "Once again our students have produced outstanding work. They have tackled some difficult, often personal, subjects and have demonstrated how media technology can be used to tell human stories with great compassion. I think visitors to the exhibition will be extremely moved by what they see and hear." Some of the highlights are: Dysphoria - A multi-sensory documentary about Holocaust survivor and University of Sussex emeritus professor Ladislaus Löb , exploring his persecution as a child growing up in Romania and as a prisoner at Bergen Belsen concentration camp.
