KU Film and Media Studies

KU Film and Media Studies Through film analysis and production, we explore who we are, where we've been, and where we're going.

Because the world has stories to tell, and through analysis and production, we work toward a greater awareness of who we are, where we've been, and where we are going.

Tonight at 5pm is our Film Rally! Join us on the FMS Sound Stage, SUM 125. Our special guest, Sharon Liese, is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker whose recent film, Seized, premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. We're so excited to hear from her!

About the film, Seized: When Marion, Kansas, is thrust into the international spotlight after a police raid on the Marion County Record and the death of its 98-year-old co-owner, a fierce debate ignites about abuse of power, journalism, and the U.S. Constitution.

Side note: There will also be 🍕 and swag at the Rally. See you there!

Happy Labor Day! Enjoy your time away. 😎
