September 11, 2021 will mark the twentieth anniversary of the tragic events that occurred in New York City. On this solemn day of remembrance, join us for a screening of two recent short documentary films about the events and aftermath of September 11: Chief (Harvey Wang and Robert Maass, 2021) and In the Shadow of the Towers: Stuyvesant High on 9/11 (Amy Schatz, 2019). Following the screenings, there will be a Q&A, moderated by film programmer Karen McMullen. The panel will feature Harvey Wang and Robert Maass, co-directors of Chief; William Feehan, grandson of Chief Feehan and musical composer of Chief; Amy Schatz, director of In the Shadow of the Towers; Liz O'Callahan and Carlos Williams, former Stuyvesant High School students ​​​​​​featured in the film. The panelists will reflect on their roles in creating artifacts of public memory and explore the continuing ramifications of 9/11 for the lives of New Yorkers today. Please note that this program will take place indoors in Ronay Menschel Hall. All attendees will be required to provide proof of vaccination and wear masks for the entirety of the program.
