“New from Old:
Practices of Appropriation”
Featuring: Bradley Eros
Colleen Fitzgibbon
and Martha Colburn

The first in a three-part series presenting personal visions of cinema’s potential as an artistic medium, “New from Old” features three internationally exhibited filmmakers who have made appropriation central to their creative process. Each artist will present a selection of films and videos that exemplify the practice of making new from the old, turning ubiquitous media images to critical and expressive ends. Screening followed by a discussion.

Presented by the Millennium Film Workshop in partnership with The School of Media Studies and The New School for Public Engagement.
