Join the Department of Performing and Media Arts for the Honors Film Screening on Friday, May 3 at 7:30 pm in the Kiplinger Theatre, Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts. The event will showcase two Honors Film Projects by the Cornell Senior class; DOOMSCROLL, an honors thesis film by Kenny Aune ‘24, and REMEMBERING COLIN STALL, an honors scholar film by Peter Levine ‘24. Support great storytelling and hear from the student directors themselves in a Q&A session following the screening.

DOOMSCROLL, directed by Kenny Aune ’24: A young woman's birthday celebration takes a dark turn when a relentless stream of dystopian news on social media becomes a surreal reality, forcing her to confront an alien invasion that blurs the lines between what's on her phone, and what's right in front of her. Aune says “this is a film specifically about how young adults cope with and grieve a realization that the world is not what you expected it to be.” The expected runtime is 15 minutes.

Content warning: Blood, Violence and mentions of Gun Violence and Climate Change.

REMEMBERING COLIN STALL, directed by Peter Levine ‘24: A young man’s decision to run away from home gets him wrapped up in the nefarious ritual of an elderly couple grieving their dead son. The story explores modern masculinity through horror and genre bending and has an expected runtime of 20-30 minutes.

Content warning: Physical Violence and Profanity.

This event is free and open to the public.
