We are very fortunate to have Writer/Director Laurel Nakadate join us on Friday to screen her newest film, The Wolfe Knife, for the UCF community. Please join us for the screening in COMM 145 on Friday evening at 7:30pm, to be followed by Q&A with Laurel.
Laurel Nakadate is a photographer, video artist and filmmaker. She was born in Austin, Texas and raised in Ames, Iowa and now lives in New York City. She received a B.F.A. from Tufts University and The School of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and an M.F.A. in photography from Yale University. In 2009, her first feature film, STAY THE SAME NEVER CHANGE, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to be featured in New Directors/ New Films at The Museum of Modern Art and Lincoln Center. Her second feature, THE WOLF KNIFE, premiered at the 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival and was nominated for a 2010 Gotham award and a 2011 Independent Spirit Award. Ken Johnson of the New York Times calls her, “Smart and scarily adventurous”. Jerry Saltz of New York Magazine says, Nakadate is “A damaged unit and a loose cannon; she's clever, attention-grabbing, and slightly mad: a very promising combination.” Jeffrey Kastner, of ArtForum Magazine writes, “Nakadate knows she's got us watching now - waiting to see what might happen, wondering which demon of hers, and ours, she'll wrestle with next.” A ten-year survey of Nakadate’s work opened at MoMA/P.S.1 in January of 2011.
