6 Reasons Why You Should Attend The Stony Brook Film Festival
Stony Brook

Stony Brook University's 22nd annual Film Festival is currently underway, showcasing amazing films from all around the world every night from now until July 29th. The festival highlights a variety of films from a large variety of places and should be at the top of your Long Island summer bucket list.

Check out the video below to get a glimpse of what is in store for the festival:

 

If you are still undecided on whether or not you will attend, here are six more reasons why you definitely should:

1. Tickets are only $5 for Stony Brook students!

That's a great price to see such incredible work. General tickets are $12, which is the same price as seeing a movie at Loews. It's even a little cheaper!

2. Seeing a film is a great way to escape this awful heat.

Why be outside in this 90-degree weather when you can be relaxing and watching a movie in an air-conditioned theater?

3. There are films featured from all over the world.

The festival is including feature films and shorts from countries like Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Latvia, and Norway — just to name a few!

4. A few films include women who are the director, writer AND lead actor of their films.

This is the case for the closing night film, "Text For You," and "The Sounding." It's both awesome and important to see women being successful and making such an impact in the film industry.

5. The festival showcases a wide range of movie genres, so there is something everyone will enjoy.

Whether it's romance, comedy, drama, or even animation, you can find a film that suits your interests. Playing on Wednesday, July 26th, a documentary titled "The Second Act of Elliot Murphy" is about the rock musician/ songwriter and will be immediately followed by a live performance from Elliot Murphy himself, which will be a cool experience for everyone.

6. It is a great opportunity to get together with family and friends for a fun night of film.

Overall, the Stony Brook Film Festival is a chance to celebrate family, friends, and film.

Come check it out!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
