April 21, 2021 at 4:00 P.M. (PST)
This ACTI Faculty Fellowship presentation will feature a conversation between Professor Leon Wiebers, Cynthia Becht, and Professor Cecilia González-Andrieu on the historic vestments held in the Archives and Special Collections of the William H. Hannon Library.
LMU’s new Interactive, Gaming, and Immersive Media, isknown informally as IGI or Iggy, after our institution's founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola. It formalizes a longstanding collaboration between the College of Science & Engineering (CSE) and the School of Film & Television (SFTV).
Join us for an hour-long discussion that will offer insights from two of the program’s founders, Prof. Tom Klein and Dr. Ray Toal.
Join us for a movie screening of L.A. Burning: The Riots 25 Years Later and a pre-recorded panel discussion with Dr. Julia Lee (LMU associate professor of English) and Eric Deggans (NPR TV critic) to address the media representations of race during the civil unrest in Los Angeles in the aftermath of the Rodney King verdict. Lee describes her experience as the daughter of Korean immigrants whose store was burned during the uprising. Deggans describes his experience covering the unrest and its impact in Pittsburgh, where he was one of the few Black reporters working at the local newspaper. Lee and Deggans then have a conversation about the protests following George Floyd's murder and the need for media outlets to diversify their ranks and coverage.
This pre-recorded panel discussion and this film explore the shattering impact of forcible separation of a child from a parent through parental kidnapping. This not only affects the child, but also negatively impacts the family as a whole, including the kidnapper. This program will explore this issue through the film “Sarah Cecilie”, produced and directed by LMU Professor Glenn Gebhard, and executive produced by Baroness Catherine Meyer.
ACTI is excited to announce our partnership with Brinca Taller de Animación to bring Home Is Somewhere Else to campus. This groundbreaking animated documentary, the first feature film by Brinca Taller de Animación, has been showcased at film festivals around the world. The film shares the powerful stories of three young migrants who are part of undocumented families in the United States. As part of the event, ACTI will host a panel discussion that is open to the general public. We are honored to welcome the film's director to campus, where he will engage in a dialogue with faculty and staff members of the LMU community who possess extensive expertise in immigration to the United States.
