Sachse should know — he's been in a lot campus restrooms for his film, "The Dump." It's very clean and well-lit with windows, Sachse said. "We brought two-ply paper special for the occasion." Sachse's film, about a man desperately seeking a working restroom, is one of seven films featured at "An Evening of Local Film at Liberty Hall." The film festival starts at 9:45 p.m. Monday in Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts St. Admission is $3. This event is meant to show people that there is a film community in Lawrence, Matt Toplikar, Lawrence senior, said. There is a lack of outlets for filmmakers to show their works to the general public, Sachse said. Usually film students' work is limited to showings for friends or screenings at Oldfather Studios, 1621 W. Ninth St., Sachse said. Film topics range from a man spending his first night alone in an apartment to skydiving. Skydiving is a topic that Chris Burket, Kingman senior, worked on for a year with his film, "Eyes on the Sky." "Eyes on the Sky" is a 16-minute collection of skydiving clips by Burket and other aerial videographers set to rock 'n' roll and techno music. Burket had to log 200 jumps before he was prepared to film his jumps, which he did by attaching a camera to his helmet. "When you have a camera on your head you need to look out on it," Burket said. "The parachute lines could catch it." Burket, who jumped 630 times, wanted to show audiences a sport that doesn't get much mainstream attention. In addition to the short films there will be a music video of the band 10 Hour Drive made by Burket. If this festival is successful, Toplikar plans to have another one.
