Charles E. Richard directs the Center
for Moving Image Arts, a new interdisciplinary institution at
UL designed to facilitate faculty and student collaboration across
the curriculum in producing new works of research and creative
expression in moving image media. "Moving Image Arts" refers
broadly to forms of creativity and scholarship that utilize motion
pictures, such as drama, documentaries, animations,
computer games, interactive media, experimental video, and so forth.
Richard coordinates the University's Moving Image Arts Program,
a new interdisciplinary major. His work includes over a dozen nationally
distributed documentary films, earning recognitions such as "Best Historical
Documentary" twice at the New York Independent Film & Video Festival
and the prestigious "DuPont Columbia Award," television's
equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize. At UL Lafayette, he supervises
several collaborative student media projects and works closely
with the Center for Louisiana Studies, where he serves as a Fellow
with the Center for Cultural and Eco-Tourism. |
