Residents gathered at Google for the announcement of the winners of a video contest that challenged residents to convey the I-House mission in YouTube videos. Residents Kirsty Buck and Eliana Capitani won the $1,000 award for their entry: Life at I-House: A Glimpse. The Google celebration was arranged by Board member Kristin Weissman (IH 1989-90) a Google attorney and Lisa McIntire (IH 2002-03), a Google staff member. Kristin and Lisa joined alumnus Charles Ferguson (IH 1973-76) to judge the entries. Ferguson’s own film, No End in Sight, was nominated for a 2008 Academy Award in the Best Documentary category.
More than 30 residents enjoyed a tour and reception at Google for the announcement of video contest winners and screening of top selections.
The Resident Council and Alumni Office collaborated on the contest and provided the $1000 prize. View the films on I-House Berkeley YouTube channel, http://youtube.com/ihouseberkeley.
The contest was created to engage residents in multimedia documentation of the I-House mission: to foster cross-cultural respect, understanding, lifelong friendships and leadership skills for the promotion of a more tolerant and peaceful world.
