On December 7, 2023, Dr. Kornelia Boczkowska’s (American Studies Research Unit) recent book had its East Coast premiere at UnionDocs in New York, NY, at the invitation of executive artistic director and artistic co-director of UNDO, Christopher Allen and Jenny Miller.
Dr. Kornelia Boczkowska also curated a special program devoted to the memory of Jon Behrens (Interbay Cinema Society), in which she presented several films discussed in the book, and led a conversation with the filmmakers in attendance (Jessica Bardsley, Ann Deborah Levy and Bill Morrison) following the screening.
