Admission is free, but registration is required.
Guest speakers will include New York University film professor Anna McCarthy; Indiana University film and media studies professor Barbara Klinger; University of California-Irvine film and media studies professor Peter Krapp; and collaborative artists Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler, whose works of video, photography and sculpture have been exhibited in museums around the world.
