Laska Jimsen, assistant professor of cinema and media studies, was invited to premiere her film, Beaver Creek Yard, at the Ann Arbor Film Festival in March 2013. Each year, the festival showcases avant-garde and experimental, story-based narratives, and documentaries and is internationally recognized as a premiere forum for independent filmmakers. Jimsen’s film premiered on opening night of the festival and told the story of a Christmas tree processing facility on Beaver Creek Road. The film looks at the human impulse to control, exploit, and profit from the natural world.
