As part of After School Special: The 2017 School of Visual Arts Alumni Film & Animation Festival, we are pleased to present a special free screening of Landline (2017), the newest film by director Gillian Robespierre and editor Casey Brooks (both BFA 2005 Film and Video alumni), followed by a Q&A with both. Preceded by the first episode in Elisa-Sofia Fioretti's (MPS 2016 Directing) short-film series, Through Your Eyes (2017). The Q&A will be moderated by current student Katy-May Hudson (MPS 2018 Directing).
