Hudlinās first movie, 1992ās HOUSE PARTY, not only introduced the term jammy jam (when college kids gather for a party, sometimes in pajamas) into the popular lexicon but also propelled him to a distinguished and varied career in the entertainment industry. Reggie Hudlin joined our students for a Zoom session in which he imparted advice, dropped some big names, and dished on the process of getting projects made. Full article can be found here: http://www.brooklyn.cuny.edu/web/news/bcnews/bcnews_200827.php The hour-long seminar was moderated by new Feirstein Executive Director Richard Gladstein.

Welcome to the Fall 2020 semester at Feirstein! š¬š¬ Hereās a nostalgic look back at last year which was certainly unique and full of formidable challenges marked by the pandemic, the switch to remote learning, and continual acts of systemic racism which continue to plague our society.

A legend has passed. ALAN PARKERās films inspired me for many many years -- MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, BIRDY, ANGELAāS ASHES, ANGEL HEART, THE COMMITMENTS, FAME, PINK FLOYDās THE WALL, SHOOT THE MOON .. and on and on. Tonight, in Sir Parkerās honor, my sons and I watched one of his best; MISSISSIPPI BURNING. The storytelling is extra-ordinary, as old vs new culture is contrasted; in the fight for civil rights in 60ās Mississippi as well as in the policing methods utilized to bring about justice. RIP ALAN PARKER, we are fewer. Richard Gladstein, Executive Director - Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema
