Lenfest Film: Faculty Spotlight
The Faculty Spotlight series invites School of the Arts faculty members to bring the films and stories they love to life on the big screen. On February 27, Associate Professor Racquel Gates will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the silent film, The Flying Ace, accompanied by a live musical score from DJ/Producer, Parlé. The series continues on April 17 with Associate Professor of Professional Practice Andy Bienen presenting Burt Lancaster’s surreal suburban odyssey in The Swimmer, and concludes on May 1, as Professor Rob King screens Vincente Minelli’s 35mm CinemaScope masterpiece, Some Came Running.
We are excited to share our faculty’s knowledge–and an exceptional season of films–with you. See you at the movies!

Director, Lenfest Center for the Arts
