Get out your calendars and mark down these big events

My calendar is exploding! We have SO many great events happening in the Park School in the next few weeks -- and you won't want to miss them ... so get out your calendar NOW.


March 31
Award–winning filmmaker Ric Burns and three of his longtime colleagues will provide an inside look at the documentary process in a seminar “Documentary Filmmaking: A Seminar in Collaboration” at 4 p.m. in Park Hall Auditorium.

Joining Burns on the panel will be composer and 1974 Ithaca College alumnus Brian Keane, film editor Lishin Yu and sound editor Ira Spiegel. The seminar will focus on the interconnectedness of image, music and sound in the filmmaking process. Observe how a picture editor cuts for the sound editor, how the sound editor designs with the composer in mind and how ultimately they are all working to bring the director’s vision to the screen.











April 7 - -
Naomi Klein, an award-winning journalist, syndicated columnist and author of “The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism,” will speak at 7 p.m. in Emerson Suites.
