Second EYEscreen

Come join us in room 504HN for our second scheduled EYEscreen, a screening of work from your fellow students in the IMA program on Friday, March 26th at 8:30. If you would like to have your work screened, either bring a DVD to the screening or drop it in my box in the Submarine (aka grad lounge). As always, we will screen anything that you want your fellow students to see. Works under 30 minutes are preferable although we will screen at least one longer work on a first come, first served basis (so it would be best to let me know before the 26th if you have a longer work to screen). As always, we will have food and drink. So mark your calendars. Friday, March 26th from 8:30pm until the last work is shown in room 504HN.

Location: 504 Hunter North
Date & Time: March 26th – 8:30 PM

Elvis Maynard’s documentary will open Reel 13

Elvis Maynard’s documentary “Jim, An East Village Story” will open Reel 13 this Saturday at 11p.m. on channel thirteen (PBS). On Wednesday, Gothamist reviewed Elvis’s film: “If you’ve ever stepped foot in the East Village, you’ve probably seen Jim Power’s work. Bedazzled around lamp posts and trash cans, his art has been brightening up the neighborhood since Avenue A was adventurous, B was brave, C was crazy and D was deadly. Now Elvis Maynard, a film student at Hunter College, has made a documentary both honoring Jim’s work and following the ever-controversial change that has come to the neighborhood in the past years.”

Elvis’ film was picked for Reel 13 during an exclusive CUFF (City University Film Festival) week, and his film was originally made known to the producers of Reel 13 by the CUFF student board.
