Vladan Nikolic, associate professor in Media Studies and Film, has been invited to screen his narrative feature film Here and There at the Hamptons International Film Festival on October 11 and 12.

Here and There, which was awarded the Best New York Narrative award in the World Narrative Features Competition at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, is directed by Darko Lungulov and stars Cyndi Lauper, David Thornton, Mirjana Karanovic, and Branislav Trifunovic. It follows two interconnected stories on two 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.

Professor Nikolic’s previous films include CUT,The End of the Millennium, Serendipity,Burn, Going Under, and Love, which won the Young Jury Award in Geneva, Switzerland and was released theatrically to critical acclaim.
