Come celebrate the work of Hunter’s filmmakers as they bring their stories to life on the big screen! The showcase contains movies from all the production classes in the Film and Media Department and a talkback with the filmmakers, so this is a great opportunity to see what your classmates have created this semester and see the work that is done in the classes you might be considering. From fascinating documentaries to compelling narratives, 2D and 3D animated shorts to experimental visions—this festival showcases the bold, the creative, and the unapologetically original work being done at our school.

Join artist Glorimar Garcia & CENTRO Directora, Dr. Yomaira Figueroa, as we explore Garcia's contribution to Diasporic Collage: Puerto Rico and the Survival of a People, on view at the Hunter East Harlem Gallery at the Silberman School of Social Work from March 13th - September 2025. Garcia's work draws on the Puerto Rican bobbin lacemaking tradition, called mundillo, which translates to "little world". This tradition, which was brought to Puerto Rico by Spanish settlers, became an important economic activity for women across the archipelago. Garcia taught herself this method of lacemaking as a way of staying connected to Puerto Rico and to reflect upon the religious culture in which she was raised. She combines mundillo with her own family photographs and archival postcards to advertise Frank Espada's traveling exhibitions of the "Puerto Rican Diaspora Documentary Project."

Synopsis:
In a cramped apartment, three young actors, fueled by drugs and alcohol, navigate the hilarious and heartbreaking maze of love, sex, and friendship. Get Laid! is a brutally honest exploration of the sometimes awkward, often ridiculous struggles of early adulthood and the elusive quest for connection in an unforgiving city.

Content warning:
This play includes simulated intimacy, violence, and drug use.

Directions:
This performance takes place in the Basement Studio of the Baker Building at Hunter College. Here is a short video showing how to get there from the main entrance.

Written directions: Enter through the main Hunter College entrance on the southwest corner of Lexington Avenue and 68th St. Proceed to the reception desk and let them know you are here for the show in the Baker Building. They will let you through. Proceed to the escalators and take them to the third floor. Take a right and walk toward the sign that says Mihi Cura Futuri (the care of the future is yours) and take a right when you reach it. Continue in that direction until you reach a door that says “Office of the Arts”, then take another right. At this point you should see an elevator. You may take it down to the basement studio or use the stairs. This is the only way to enter the theatre building. If this seems tedious to you please tell your congressperson to put more money in public education.

Dominican-American saxophonist and composer Alfredo Colon is a proud New York City native. His playing has been described as authoritative and fiery yet mournful and melodic. Drawing on his interest in Dominican folklore and the works of visionary saxophonists Albert Ayler and Ornette Coleman, Colon creates a musical atmosphere that highlights beauty by framing it in disarray.
