School of Film and Media Studies

Andrew Buckland ’94 (Film) returns to campus to share insight on his career that took him from working as an apprentice editor fresh out of film school to winning an Academy Award for Ford V. Ferrari in 2019. 

 A reel of career highlights will be screened, interspersed with opportunities for audience members to ask questions and dialogue with him.

Nowhere (1997) directed by the New Queer Cinema director Gregg Araki is presented as a collaboration between the FMS Screening Series and the Cinemaroll Film Journal.

With the release of Nowhere “Araki’s career takes a sharp turn, and not a minute too soon. Though still quite imperfect, it’s a convincing teen movie and a reminder of Araki’s unique, punchy way with youth-culture iconography.” (ArtForum)

Nowhere is “described as a surreal “American Graffiti” crossed with a kinky “Beverly Hills 90210,” as imagined by a punked-out acolyte of John Waters or Andy Warhol.” (New York Times)

Audiences should be advised that the film contains content that could be disturbing to some audiences, such as staged sexual and physical violence.

Jon Glaser has a conversation with Purchase professor and screenwriter Greg Lisi (Opening Night) about his own journey as both a writer and actor across platforms.
