Big Muddy Film Festival
The Big Muddy Film Festival is one of the oldest student/community-run film festivals in the country. Created to bring films not typically available to the community, the first Big Muddy Film Festival was held in late March of 1979. There were approximately 45 entries, which played to packed houses at the Student Center Auditorium over a three-day period. Since then, the festival has expanded into a 10-day event, and films are not only shown on the SIU campus, but throughout the town of Carbondale and the greater Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky region.
Alt.News
Quality, Presentation and Content. For eight years the Alt.news family has approached broadcasting shows in this manner. The alt.news legacy started with Aaron Lindenthaer in 1995 when alt.news was a five-minute segment airing Fridays on WSIU-TV's local newscast. It was then that Aaron imagined a show that doesn’t give you the same old cut away news you see everyday, instead offering flashy off beat stories you don’t normally see or even hear about. Four years later Michael Cioni and Ian Vertevec branched off and earned alt.news it's own 26 minute and 46 second slot, hence the name "alt. news 26:46." Guided by Jody Leggio and Otto Arsenault the show is in it’s fourth year and produced by Arsenault and Brian Ehman. Alt.news will continue its success into the future. Little did Aaron know that his vision and project would thrive and evolve into an Emmy winning half-hour news program.
