Combining deft landscape photography and a deceptively complex subject, a recent photo exhibit on the Bears Ears National Monument, which went up this Monday in the University’s Zilkha Gallery, is worth seeing before it comes down at the end of the week. The exhibit features photographs that Fiona McLeod ’19 took while conducting field research in the […]

Does anybody remember “The Artist”? That homage to vintage Hollywood? You know the one—filmed in black and white, entirely silent, lots of delightful dance numbers?

But the album is impressive in that it does something that few other artists in the indie genre even attempt; […]
Will Jacobson ’20: “High Flying Bird,” released on Netflix last Friday, is the latest film by Steven Soderbergh, the prolific auteur who is known for his subversion of Hollywood norms as much as he is for his actual films.
