EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES
FILM/MEDIA 160 – Extra Credit Blogging Assignment:
Fall 2017
The Department of Film and Media Studies and the Integrated Media Arts MFA Program (the grad program for our department) will be hosting two events coming up very soon. If you would like to attend one of these events and write a short report on what you learned, this can be used as “extra credit.”
EVENT ONE:
Digital Diaspora Family Reunion Roadshow/ Family Picture USA with filmmaker
Thomas Allen Harris
Time: Monday, November 6th - 6:30pm
Location: Hunter College, East 68th Street and Lexington Ave. NYC. Screening Room Hunter North 502.
RSVP: imamfaassistant@gmail.com to put your name on the list.
Harris's Family Pictures USA emerged from his efforts to archive African-American
photography in his feature documentary Through a Lens Darkly, which explores
neighborhoods and cities through the lens of family photographs and the stories residing within them though digitizing events. The show travels to different locations to connect people to a larger history as well as narratives of that locale, and create an inclusive Digital Family Album.
Thomas Allen Harris is a recipient of numerous awards and fellowships including a 2015 NAACP Image Award, United States Artist Award, Guggenheim Fellowship, Rockefeller Fellowship, A Blade of Grass Fellow as well as a Tribeca Film Institute’s Nelson Mandela Award.

EVENT TWO:
Screening of The Girl and Q&A with filmmaker, David Riker -
Time: Tuesday, November 7th- 6:30pm - location TBD - Free and open to the public
RSVP: imamfaassistant@gmail.com
Synopsis: Struggling with the loss of her child to Social Services, a single mother is trapped in the quicksand of her south Texas life, unwilling to accept the consequences of her actions. When her path collides with a young child from Mexico, she begins a journey that will change her life — teaching her that she is the architect of her own fate and learning what it is that truly defines home.
Your blog should reflect both on the experience of the event itself and also on any links with issues and techniques you are exploring in this class.
The blog should be a minimum of 250 words and is due by Lab 13.
