This week we sat down with Javier Téllez, the artist responsible for the creation of "NOSFERATU(The Undead"), a commissioned work for the Memorial Art Gallery. Also joining us is Jonathan Binstock, the Mary W. and Donald R. Clark Director of the MAG and John Hanhardt, Consulting Senior Curator of Media Arts for the MAG. NOSFERATU (The Undead) is part of a series called Reflections on Place: that place being Rochester, NY. Javier is an artist who incorporates people living with mental illness into his work and he did the same with this piece. Inspired by the 1922 film Nosferatu, Javier and a local cast created a film that incorporates celluloid, the theater and mental illness into an incredible body of work. Listen in to hear Javier’s journey to make this film and how it lives within the MAG.

This week we were joined by cinematographer Matthias Koenigswieser. He joined us to talk about his work as the DP on the film "Christopher Robin." The film was shot with a blend of 65mm, 35mm, and digital to craft the wonder and natural beauty of the Hundred Acre Woods. Listen in to hear how he did this, his work with CGI and the care he took with these characters that mean so much to us all.

Christopher Robin is in theaters now!
