This workshop takes inspiration from Ashon Crawley's Lonely Letters and loss.nothing.memorial. Respectively, these works explore collectivity, loneliness, mourning and celebration. Altars Made and Unmade sustains these themes, even as it embraces "sense experience." How can altar-making, as an embodied activity, rather than an empty routine or an amplification of dogma, provide a remedy to the numbness characterizing much of our present day?

Zak Stoltz ’10 returns to discuss his role as leader of the visual effects team on this year’s acclaimed film Everything Everywhere All at Once. Stoltz will be joined by the film's writer/directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (the Daniels) for a post-screening Q&A moderated by Prof. Amanda Tasse. 

Visiting Professor Jonathan Wysocki will screen and discuss his feature film debut Dramarama, a nostalgic, funny love letter to drama nerds, late bloomers, and the intense friendships that mark our youth.

Gabriela Cowperthwaite ’93 will screen and discuss her latest feature documentary The Grab, which continues her tradition of changemaking media demonstrated by Blackfish (2013). In The Grab, Cowperthwaite follows journalist Nathan Halverson and his team at the Center for Investigative Reporting as they lay bare the mechanisms through which wealthy corporations and government forces are grabbing up land and water rights globally.
