Damien Chazelle, Harvard ‘07-08, will be screening his film Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench at the Tribeca Film Festival this year.

Who ever says as a child, “Mom, I want to grow up to be an arts administrator?”
I surely didn’t. But that’s just what I told my parents this past Wednesday afternoon, after listening to the conversation presented at the New College Theatre featuring Michael Kaiser, President of the Kennedy Arts Center in Washington D.C. Known [...]

I’m a big believer in karma. Positive energy, good vibes, the whole deal. So I had to nod (and laugh) when Chief (Lev’s house master– the guy with the whiskers and really reflective bike gear) told us all the reason for our particular good fortune.

If you haven’t seen an Agnes Varda film you hadn’t lived fully. Her films crawl like your dreams across the screen. She’ll be there in person on 3/12 @ 6 pm. And her films are at the film archive in March.
Think accessible Tarkosky and french sensibility written by Duras. You won’t love her films you [...]
Sometimes, Men Wear Dresses

And to my dismay, their legs usually look better than mine ever will. The annual Hasty Pudding Theatrical show, involving men dressed in drag, music, and dancing, is one of those ridiculous time-honored traditions at Harvard (like Primal Scream, or burning boats on housing day) that you just have to experience before you graduate.
