Film & Media Culture

Graduate reception for Film and Media Culture’s majors.
East end of the Axinn Center Winter Garden.

Co-produced by Roman Kent and narrated by Liv Ullman, Children in the Holocaust is an examination of the plight of Jewish children in the Holocaust, from the viewpoint of those children – now adults – who survived. The survivors tell of groups of terrified children being caught smuggling food into the Warsaw Ghetto, the intense anti-Semitic air that permeated pre-war Eastern Europe, and most painful of all, their experiences in the concentration camps.

Please join us for a public conversation with actor/producer Piper Perabo (Coyote Ugly, Notorious, Covert Affairs, Cheaper by the Dozen), and writer/director Stephen Kay (Friday Night Lights, Taken, Get Carter, Sons of Anarchy) as we discuss the opportunities and challenges of navigating careers in the golden age of American television.

Moderated by Alex Draper, Chair, Dept. of Theatre and Dance, and Jason Mittell, Chair, Dept. of Film and Media Culture.

A 10-minute senior thesis film about elementary schoolers, lice, conquest, and friendship.
