Tomorrow (Demain) – Documentary Film Screening and Q&A
Thursday, December 5, 2019 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The Center of Applied Liberal Arts (CALA) at the School of Professional Studies (SPS) and the Department of French Literature, Thought, and Culture present a screening of the film Tomorrow (Demain) hosted by filmmaker and scholar Leonard Cortana.
Tomorrow is a French documentary about what individuals around the world are doing to help fight current environmental problems. It is being shown as part of CALA’s international film series whose theme in Fall 2019 is “Fragile Earth: Environmental Films Around the World.”
The screening will be followed by a Q&A where participants are invited to reflect on the film’s emphasis on individual efforts to combat environmental threats and how they might apply these lessons to their own lives. Post-film discussion will be with Leonard Cortana and Daniella Gitlin. Daniella Gitlin is a PhD candidate in NYU’s Comparative Literature Department pursuing a Certificate in Media and Culture. Her dissertation revolves around documentary media from mid-20th-century that responds to grave injustice. Daniella sits on the board of and helps run Word Up Community Bookshop/Librería Comunitaria, a nonprofit, bilingual community bookshop in Washington Heights staffed predominantly by volunteers.
