Jasna Bogdanovska serves as a judge at a film festival

Jasna Bogdanovska, Associate Professor of Photography (VaPA), was a judge at the 2022 Cayuga Film Festival.

The films were judged in the following categories: Short Documentary, Long Documentary Fiction, Experimental and Short Animation.  

The homes of abolitionist Harriet Tubman, New York State Senator, William Seward, and Theodore Case, the inventor of the first commercial recording sound machine, are located in Auburn while the beginnings of the suffrage movement began just miles away in Seneca Falls. The rich history in film and human rights in this area, served as an inspiration for establishing the Cayuga Film Festival.

The winning films will be honored at the 2-day film festival at Auburn Public Theater this weekend.
