ON DOCUMENTARIES

Making Movies That Matter

This fall, we’ve got two programs on documentary films and the people who make them. On Sept. 25 at LIU’s Kumble Theater, we’ll talk with four filmmakers about what drives their search for truth. And we’ll close out the year with a Dec. 4 conversation between pioneering producer Sheila Nevins and rising star Erin Lee Carr.

ON LOCATION

Tamron Hall, Bustle and More!

We kick things off Sept. 19 with the next in our On Location series—a trip to ABC Studios for a taping of the new Tamron Hall Show followed by visits to the NYC offices of media agency Digitas and lifestyle website Bustle. These student-only outings fill up fast, so be sure to register your interest early to claim a spot. Learn more.
