What happens when we combine films we had never previously thought to combine? Is there something to be gained from unusual unions? Zoom-In is a screening series curated by Columbia University's Film and Media Studies MA class of 2019 that asks these very questions and more.

The event was consisted of four panels:

Panel 1: "All the World's a Film Set" Friday 12-2 PM 

• A selection of Marey Films (1890)

Panel 2: "I Sing the Body Synthetic" Friday 2:15-7 PM

Panel 3: "Cinematic Traffic Jams" Saturday 12-3:30 PM

Panel 4: "Temporal Trickery" Saturday 3:45-8 PM

A twenty-minute discussion led by students and faculty members accompanied each panel.
