| Frosh
Two award-winning filmmakers- one male, one female- returned to college with their cameras. They spent a year living in a co-ed, multicultural, freshman residence hall at Stanford University. They shot at 2:00 AM bull sessions, in co-ed bathrooms, classrooms and deans offices, and on trips home during winter break. Their unprecedented cinema verite documentary captures the freshman world of scary freedoms and new lifestyles in all its thrilling anxiety. The students discover they face much more than the traditional academic pressures. Campus life is wracked with unexpected social conflicts: · Freedom of speech
vs. anti-harrassment codes Frosh traces a dramatic journey of social experimentation and intellectual curiosity, cultural clashes and spiritual crisis, academic pressure and adjustment problems, but ultimately, individual self-discovery within a diverse community. Nothing less than a contemporary American coming of age story, Frosh is destined to become a classic of student life. Frosh's frank and
open approach to gender, racial, political, and academic issues common
to all campuses will help prepare any student for the challenges of
college life. Ideal for use in: Freshman year, residential life, counseling,
and other student activities programs, and for training professional
and para-professional staff.  Social Organizations and Kinship Counseling Student Life and Staff Development |
"A fascinating
portrayal of the freshman year experience… An intimate look at real
students living and working together… Beautifully dramatizes the importance
of students and peers and of residential life." "Presents college
life in a way that parents, students and staff can understand. Its realism
makes it a unique resource for education, training and staff development…
Campus life as it really is." "Frosh
vividly, candidly and sympathetically documents the passage from adolescence
to young adulthood. These students touch you as they struggle to develop
intellectual and social competance, manage their sexual and aggressive
emotions, and test and sometimes modify the values of their heritages." "Captures virtually
all the essential themes of the residential freshman year experience...Highly
recommended." "Engaging and
well-observed. Frosh fascinates in its reflection of the shifting 1990s
cultural landscape." Producer/Director:
