RAZ, Maryam L'ange (2024, 15 mins)
The Graduates, Hannah Peterson (2023, 87 mins)
Peterson’s quietly compelling, slow-burn feature debut, set in the final weeks of a high school academic year, explores the long-term psychological and emotional aftermath of a school shooting on its survivors, graduating students and faculty both, with standout performances coming from Mina Sundwall as a young woman still mourning the death of her boyfriend, Moonlight’s Alex Hibbert as a basketball team star who’s been MIA since the tragedy, and John Cho as the coach struggling to keep up a brave face through unendurable heartbreak. A somber and sobering portrait of a community collectively coping with, and through, crisis, executive produced by Chloé Zhao, The Graduates will screen with the world premiere of Maryam L’ange’s short Rāz (The Secret), in which the shockwaves of an unexpected death wash over an Iranian American family gathered for a wedding.
Q&A with director Hannah Peterson, and actors Mina Sundwall and Yasmeen Fletcher, on Friday, November 1st, moderated by filmmaker Rachel Lambert, and Saturday, November 2nd, moderated by Genevieve Yue, associate professor of Culture and Media at The New School
