Congratulations to IMA grad Jessica Chornesky! She just received a 2016 Creative Engagement grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs for her thesis film “Why Racism Is a White Person’s Problem.”
Prof. Marty Lucas’ film Hiroshima Bound will have its first screening in the New York area at Union Docs in Williamsburg on March 24th at 7:30PM.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Prof. Reiko Tahara and IMAer Jason Fox.
