Media Studies Faculty Members Screen Films at The Tribeca Film Festival

Two Media Studies faculty members will screen films in this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
Vladan Nikolic, director of Undergraduate Studies and associate professor will show the film he produced Here and There as part of the Festival’s World Narrative Features Competition.
The film follows two interconnected stories on two different continents. Robert, a depressed New Yorker, tries to make quick cash and ends up in chaotic Serbia, where instead of money he finds his soul. At the same time, a young Serbian immigrant, Branko, struggles in an unforgiving New York, desperately trying to bring his girlfriend from Serbia to the United States.
Here and There will have four screenings at the AMC Village VII, 66 3rd Avenue at 11th Street, on Thursday April 23, at 9:15 p.m.; Sunday April 26, at 1:00 p.m.; Friday May 1, at 12:00 p.m.; and Saturday May 2, at 8:45 p.m.
Joel Schlemowitz, a part-time faculty member will show his film Camera Roll (for Taylor), which he produced and directed, as part of the Festival’s short film program Human Landscapes.
The short film is a camera roll city cine-poem, filmed in Brooklyn in the vicinity of the Gowanus Canal. It will also have four screenings. Three will be at the AMC Village VII, 66 3rd Avenue at 11th Street, on Thursdays, April 23, at 9:45 p.m., and April 30, at 4:15 p.m., as well as Saturday, May 2, at 6:15 p.m. The fourth screening will be at Tribeca Cinemas, 54 Varick Street at Laight Street, below Canal Street on Sunday, May 3, at 5:30 p.m.
