Dean Rosen With great pride I welcome you to FESTIVAL 2009, a weeklong celebration of film, video, animation, producing, screenwriting and theater. This year's rite of passage has special significance for me personally, because this academic year is my final one as Dean. For me, FESTIVAL has always encapsulated the vitality and distinctive character of this institution, TFT is unique in its ability to mix, match and intertwine the educational achievements of its varied departments and programs, while at the same time fostering creative growth, experimentation and ensuring artistic freedom. As TFT continues to grow and adapt, we are indebted to the generous support of our many donors, volunteers and sponsors; to the School's Executive Board, Dean's Advisory Board and Alumni Council; and to a supportive University administration. More than ever this year I appreciate the fact that FESTIVAL allows us to come together as an artistic community to witness the emergence of the next generation of gifted artists. We are honored to present their work, and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we have.
