Our Story
Each semester, the Visiting Filmmakers Series at Mason brings to campus a variety of films and directors. Our first guest, in 1995, was Cheryl Dunye: she inspired us to “make our own history.”
Since then, our programs include: Cameraperson and Kirsten Johnson, Whose Streets? and Sabaah Foyalan, Hooligan Sparrow with Nanfu Wang, The Unafraid and with Heather Courtney, Dark Money and Kimberly Reed, Say Her Name: The Life and Death of Sandra Bland, with Kate Davis and David Heilbroner, In the Last Days of the City with Tamer El Said, In Lorton's Darkroom with filmmaker and photographer Karen Ruckman, producer Emma Pearce, and photographers Calvin Gorham and Michael Moses El, Road Through War with Louie Palu, Visitor's Day (Día de Visita) with Nicole Opper, 13th with cinematographer Hans Charles, City of Trees with Brandon and Lance Kramer, A Conversation with Christine Vachon, and Field Ni**as, with Khalik Allah.
