A Moment in Time
Ruby Berin produced a short film on the 2024 solar eclipse for Susanne Schwibs’ Media Production Practicum class. The total solar eclipse was visible on April 8th , 2024. These films were made with the help of the IU Center for Rural Engagement and screened at the Eclipse Symposium at the Gayle Karch Cooke Center in Maxwell Hall.
To celebrate the solar eclipse, Ruby worked with the Indiana Forest Alliance (IFA) as they hosted a two-day celebration in Bloomington during the eclipse weekend. One event was done at Yellowwood State Forest and the other event was done at the Tibetan Mongolian Buddhist Cultural Center. Both of these events were captured to celebrate nature, community, and mindfulness in the forests of Indiana.
