Artistic short films to be shown

Short films made by tutors, students and alumni from Oxford University’s Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art will be displayed at a special event this evening (28 February).

Ruskin Shorts is organised in conjunction with Modern Art Oxford and the 75-minute programme of films has been selected by a panel including Turner Prize-winner and Oxford University lecturer Dr Elizabeth Price.

Robert Rapoport, a DPhil student at the Ruskin and co-director of the event, says: 'For four years running, Ruskin Shorts has represented the breadth and depth of enquiry that characterises moving image work at the Ruskin.'

The event will be held at Modern Art Oxford at 7pm this evening (28 February) and tickets cost £3 – all profits will go towards staging a Degree Show of pieces by final-year Ruskin students later this year.
