ARTISTS & CRITICS: FILM
Panel discussion with renowned director, film critic and film scholar

Film is a means of creativity, expression, entertainment, persuasion and, at times, manipulation - making it a driving force in the ways that people relate to one another and the world. From silent beginnings to the forefront of technology, film has offered ways to reflect upon the past, comment upon the present, imagine other worlds, and project a broad range of possible futures. Film's rich narrative and aesthetic range and effects have made it one of the most powerful media for interpreting and understanding society, history and the meanings of life.

The second event in the Artists & Critics series will focus on film. Please join us to hear New York Times film critic A.O. Scott and screenwriter and director Todd Field (In the Bedroom, Little Children) discuss their crafts and the way they see themselves in relation to their fellow panelists and various public constituencies. Matthew Bernstein (Chair, Department of Film Studies, Emory University) will moderate the discussion, followed by time for questsions and answers.
This event is cosponsored by the Center for Creativity and the Arts..

ARTISTS & CRITICS: FASHION
Panel discussion with renowned designer, fashion writer and fashion historian

Fashion is most often discussed from the perspectives of style and aesthetics or industry trends, whether the focus is the latest couture collections, shopping or reviewing red carpet, celebrity commentary. But fashion also occupies an enormous role in discussions of history, social identities and the ways that people relate to one another. Fashion can be an idicator of wealth or poverty. Fashion can shape the way that people are accepted as teenagers and throughout life. Fashion can help to drive or symbolize historical and social mores such as Victorian England, the Roaring Twenties, 1950s America, the Hippie movement, Paris chic, and so on.

The third and final event in the Artists & Critics series will focus on fashion. Please join us to hear Washington Post fashion writer Robin Givhan, a fashion historian (tbd) and a renowned designer (tbd) to discuss their crafts and the way they see themselves in relation to their fellow panelists and various public constituencies.
