Join us for a day of conversation as NYU Cinema Studies celebrates its 50th Anniversary by revisiting two spaces that have shaped the intellectual and collborative life of the department: the seminar room and the media lab.
Free and open to the public.
Brunch and Opening Remarks

Celebrating Annette Michelson

Moderated by Richard Allen. With Giuliana Bruno (PhD '90), Noël Carroll (PhD '76), Stuart Liebman (PhD '80), Bill Simon (PhD '73), and Malcolm Turvey (PhD '02).
