Between Neighborhoods Film Screening
2025-10-17 18:30 - 20:00 | Mainstage Theater, 31-10 Thomson Avenue, Long Island City, NY, 11101, United States
Between Neighborhoods contemplates histories that orbit Robert Moses’s Unisphere in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, since it went up as the “theme center” for the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair. Sixty years to the day after that fair closed on October 17, 1965, LPAC screens Seth Fein’s 2024 reboot of his prize-winning documentary essay, which works in split-screen between original and archival footage to consider the present and past –– of imperialism and immigration, corporate and social globalizations –– that surround the last NYWF’s singular architectural legacy across liberal and neoliberal regimes, between the age of Moses and that of Trump and AOC. Based in years of independent filming and multiarchival research, Fein completed this major revision in honor of Unisphere’s sesquicentennial. A conversation with the filmmaker follows the screening. You can see and read more about Between Neighborhoods at sevenlocalfilm.com.

How can you catch the eye of the admissions office? So often, we write admissions or scholarship essays that sound the way we think we should write them. But maybe you should write the way you think you shouldn’t.
In this workshop, we aim to help you write something that no one else has said, and that no one else can say but you. We will work on ways in which you can mine your own life, in order to represent your own intellectual trajectory.
Sponsored by the Honors Program. All are welcome.
