While Manny and Joel grow into versions of their loving and unpredictable father\, Ma seeks to shelter her youngest\, Jonah\, in the cocoon of home. More sensitive and conscious than his older siblings\, Jonah increasingly embraces an imagined world all his own. \nWith a screenplay by Dan Kitrosser and Jeremiah Zagar based on the celebrated Justin Torres novel\, We the Animals is a visceral coming-of-age story propelled by layered performances from its astounding cast—including three talented\, young\, first-time actors—and stunning animated sequences that bring Jonah’s torn inner world to life. Drawing from his documentary background\, director Jeremiah Zagar creates an immersive portrait of working-class family life and brotherhood. \nJeremiah Zagar\nZagar grew up in South Philly spending most afternoons in a dark movie theater or wandering the aisles of his local TLA video store. In 2008 he completed his first documentary\, In a Dream\, which screened theatrically across the U.S. and in film festivals around the world. It was broadcast on HBO\, shortlisted for an Academy Award\, and received two Emmy nominations\, including Best Documentary. \nHis next feature-length documentary\, Captivated: The Trials of Pamela Smart\, premiered in competition at the Sundance Film Festival and aired on HBO to much fanfare in 2014. His latest film\, the feature-length narrative We The Animals\, premiered at Sundance in 2018 and took home the NEXT Innovator Award. Other notable output includes the pilot episode for Showtime’s 7 Deadly Sins\, and commercial work for GE Capital\, Pedigree and New Balance. When he’s not working\, Zagar spends his time swimming in New York City’s finest public pools. \nThe Film and Media Screening Series is supported by the Diversity Council\, the Student-Faculty Corporation\, the School of Liberal Arts\, and the departments of Film\, Media and Performing Arts\, English and Communication Studies\, and Modern Languages and Cultures. \nAll screenings are free and open to the public. \n  URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/film-and-media-screening-series-we-the-animals-with-jeremiah-zagar/ LOCATION:Film and Media Screening Room D207\, Pomerantz Center\, New York City \, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Film Screening,Public ORGANIZER;CN="Michelle Handelman":MAILTO:michelle_handelman@fitnyc.edu GEO:40.747025;-73.9941136 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Film and Media Screening Room D207 Pomerantz Center New York City NY United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Pomerantz Center:geo:-73.9941136,40.747025 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181114 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181115 DTSTAMP:20260403T193814 CREATED:20181015T195042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181015T195042Z UID:10006611-1542153600-1542239999@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Exhibition: Expressions of Civility — Opens DESCRIPTION:In recognition of FIT’s commitment to creating a civil\, inclusive campus for all\, the annual faculty and staff exhibition will include student work for the first time. \nThe exhibition will explore: What does it mean to be civil in a world that is increasingly not? In an era where personal attacks and inflammatory positions have superseded dialogue and debate\, how do we seek to understand that which separates us and builds connections that increase empathy\, inclusivity\, knowledge and community strength? Civility—and the ability to reconcile our differences for the greater good—is at the very root of a democratic society. It spurs forward movement\, it moves us past our points of conflict\, it is what fuels progress. Ultimately\, it’s the only thing that ever has. \nArtwork will be on view in the following locations: \nLynn and Carl Goldstein Gallery\, Feldman Center\, Ninth Floor (faculty/staff work): November 14\, 2018–October 2019 \nGladys Marcus Library\, Fifth and Sixth floors (student work): November 19\, 2018–March 31\, 2019 \nGallery FIT\, The Museum at FIT (students/faculty/staff): November 19\, 2018–January 26\, 2019 URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-expressions-of-civility-opens/ LOCATION:Various locations on campus\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, 227 West 27th Street\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20181114T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20181114T180000 DTSTAMP:20260403T193814 CREATED:20181106T182253Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181106T182253Z UID:10004072-1542214800-1542218400@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:FIT Author Talks: Julia Jacquette DESCRIPTION:Julia Jacquette\, Fine Arts\, will discuss her books Unrequited and Acts of Play and Playground of My Mind at this FIT Author Talk\, part of Gladys Marcus Library’s Love Your Library series. \nUnrequited and Acts of Play is the first major monograph for Julia Jacquette\, Fine Arts.

Garments that are altered\, unfinished\, or deconstructed\, in addition to clothing that shows signs of wear\, will highlight the aberrant beauty in flawed objects. Unless such imperfections are intentional—as they are in the case of deconstructed fashion—these garments are often overlooked in museum collections. This exhibition will include a selection of objects from the museum’s permanent collection\, highlighting objects that are not only visually compelling\, but that may also tell intriguing stories about their makers and/or wearers. \nIt is only in recent years that imperfect or inauthentic objects have been given greater consideration\, as interest in their “biographies” has grown. Signs of repeated wear\, shortened hemlines\, and careful mends can be found even on haute couture garments\, and they highlight the lasting economic and emotional worth of many clothes within museum collections. These findings—which are often unseen and unknown by museum visitors—challenge the concept of fashion as a strictly ephemeral\, disposable commodity. Fashion Unraveled will also reveal how the appearance of aged clothing\, with its flaws and signs of decay\, has been embraced by many designers as an aesthetic choice\, furthering the reconstruction of notions about beauty and value in fashion.
