Ed Brown Retirement Party

October 19, 2016 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Campus Hall Music Performance Center

Ed Brown, our legendary guitar teacher, has retired from teaching at Wagner College. The Music Department would like to gather friends, colleagues and former students to celebrate his countless contributions to the college and to music on Staten Island, and to thank him for the difference he has made in our lives.

The gathering is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Campus Hall Performance Center. Hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be served, but performances are not planned since there would be too many to include in one evening.

If you are able to attend, RSVP by email to Roger Wesby so that we know how to plan refreshments.

October 19th, 7pm, Spiro 4
Three short films about the refugee crisis in Europe made by students at Wagner’s partner film school, The University of Television and Film Munich (HFF). This program is curated by former Wagner exchange student, Denize Galiao, who will introduce the program via skype.

Two at the border, (2013), Germany, Dir. Tuna Kaptan and Felicitas Sonvilla, 30 min.- a portrait about two human smugglers from Syria and Palestine at the border between Turkey and Greece. Their job gets increasingly difficult as greek and european authorities strengthen the porous border by a 13 km fence and by thousands of officers, trying to barricade the EU against illegal immigration. Ultimately, it all looks pretty abysmal for both the men and their mostly syrian clients alike, as far fewer of these refugees are making it into Greece.

Spielfeld, (2014), Germany, 26 min.- Deserted refugee tents, a mile-long fence becoming an absurd demarcation line in the middle of a forest: the village Spielfeld at the Austrian-Slovenian border – till now in the spotlight of international politics – steadily disappears from the full glare of global publicity. How do the residents cope with the fact that their 1000-souls village became the “playing field” of nationally oriented refugee policy?

I come from Syria, (2014), Germany, 14 min.- Perspective turned around: How do three Syrian men feel in Munich? Do they want to become German at some point? An approach to thoughts and feelings of three men. They came to a foreign country, searching for a new home. It becomes clear, that a future together could work in various ways. Just as the refugees are very different individuals.
