Some of the spotlights and conversations of the festival include: David Oyelowo’s feature directorial debut, The Water Man, will open the festival on Wednesday, September 23, 2020 at 7:30 P.M. Oyelowo also stars in the fantasy-adventure film that follows a boy who sets out on a quest to save his ill mother by searching for a mythic figure said to have magical healing powers.

Miranda Jr. Miranda is a decades-long fighter for Latino communities, a key player in the New York and national political arena and a loving father of three – including the award-winning composer, lyricist and actor, Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Hulu’s Bad Hair will screen on Thursday, September 24, 2020 at 8:00 P.M.

A conversation about the making of the film with writer/director Justin Simien, Lena Waithe, Elle Lorraine and Kelly Rowland moderated by influencer/entrepreneur Tahira Joy will follow. In an industry historically led and validated by white men, the dearth of executives possessing the authority to usher in BIPOC storytellers is pronounced.

MoCADA’s Amy Andrieux will have a one-on-one conversation with Alana Mayo, President of Orion Pictures on Friday, September 25, 2020 at 6:00 P.M to discuss how this next chapter change agent is impacting how content is created and how deals get done.

AMC Networks’ rapid-fire 3-part presentation highlighting its forthcoming television series’ that will debut this fall will happen on Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 4:00 P.M.

From Soulmates, Shamier Anderson, Kingsley Ben-Adir and Georgina Campbell and from The Walking Dead: World Beyond, executive producer and showrunner Matt Negrete, Alexa Mansour and Aliyah Royale. Desperate for a breakthrough as she nears the big 4-0, struggling New York City playwright Radha finds inspiration by reinventing herself as a rapper in Netflix’s The Forty-Year-Old Version, the directorial debut of actor/writer/director/producer Radha Blank. The filmmaker will discuss the film on Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 6:00 P.M in a conversation led by writer/director Robert Townsend.

  • Abstracts for 2015 Student Research Conference
    Abstracts for 2015 Student Research Conference Abston, Summer "Architectural Reformation Of Educational Institutions" (Shahnaz Aly) Children serve as an important factor concerning the future of this world. In order to positively impact our future we must start with education by addressing daily function in schools. The aim of this research is to create an environment that is conducive not only for performance but also for health. This is accomplished by appealing to sensory elements. Studies show that by increasing natural lighting and controlling the acoustics, learning can be improved. Health is a vital aspect in producing an environment for learning. By increasing ventilation and not using hazardous materials, such as VOCs and BPAs, adverse health effects can be averted. Materials can serve a dualistic purpose of appealing through sensory perception and meeting sustainability goals. Additionally, materials can also aid in code compliance. Certain types of glass offer a myriad of benefits for regulation and security advances. Moreover, through better selection of materials, schools can improve their educational environment and prevent sick building syndrome all while becoming more sustainable and accommodating to building codes. This presentation will highlight the topics that were adopted in the design of a high school. Abston, Summer; Aly, Shahnaz; "Observational Sketching As A Platform To Improve Sketching Techniques" (Shahnaz Aly) Architecture is a very visual discipline that involves sketching and drawing as a means of visual expression. However, the computer has become the preferred design tool for most designers and architects. Through the transition of traditional to digitals drawing tools, programs have become so sophisticated that they virtually require no thought from the user, making hand sketching a thing of the past.

  • Pieces of a Woman
    PIECES OF A WOMAN Directed by Kornél Mundruczó Starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Falls, Ellen Burstyn **WORLD PREMIERE – In Competition – Venice Film Festival 2020** **OFFICIAL SELECTION – Gala Presentations – Toronto International Film Festival 2020** Press Contacts: US: Julie Chappell | [email protected] International: Claudia Tomassini | [email protected] Sales Contact: Linda Jin | [email protected] 1 SHORT SYNOPSIS When an unfathomable tragedy befalls a young mother (Vanessa Kirby), she begins a year-long odyssey of mourning that touches her husband (Shia LaBeouf), her mother (Ellen Burstyn), and her midwife (Molly Parker). Director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014) and partner/screenwriter Kata Wéber craft a deeply personal meditation and ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss. SYNOPSIS Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. From director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014), with artistic support from executive producer Martin Scorsese, and written by Kata Wéber, Mundruczó’s partner, comes a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.
