Description
On April 8, 2024, a solar eclipse transited across central New York - its path of totality falling only a few miles from Colgate's campus. Spectating this astronomical phenomenon became a mass social event: nearly a million people flocked to the region.Watch Party, an immersive multi-channel video installation, recreates this event, capturing the scene on the ground rather than the skies.Co-sponsored by Alternative Cinema and Film and Media Studies

Opening performance and reception will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 12.Movie-Drome 2.0 is a collaborative project reimagining Stan VanDerBeek’s iconic Movie-Drome (1965), a spherical domed multi-projection environment or "experience machine." VanDerBeek designed this alternative cinema to create an "international picture-language" through a series of events he described as "movie-murals," "newsreels of dreams," and "image libraries."Students in fall 2024 courses Art and Technology (CORE400) and Expanded Cinema (FMST390A) have joined forces to remake this work for the contemporary moment using the immersive media environment of the Experimental Exhibition and Performance Studio (aka The Vault) as their canvas. Movie-Drome 2.0 features an array of audio-visual media—from archival images to live surveillance, pop culture to politics, psychedelia to environmental processes, local sites to world events.Co-sponsored by Core Distinction - Nov 2112:00 PMInfo Session: Point O'Pines Camp for GirlsToday's Events

dir. Paolo Zucca, 2023, 105 min.Based on the novel with the same title by Barbara Alberti (1979), the film aims at contrasting the traditional image of Mary as the silent and obedient mother of Christ, to create a brave new female figure of the time. Intellectually curious and energetic, Mary in this film reclaims her own voice, freedom and access to knowledge, leading to the ultimate rebellion against God’s own plan. The result is a poetic and challenging representation of Mary far from the biblical image of the Virgin.Co-sponsored by the Department of Religion and the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures
