For American architect and filmmaker Eric Franklin Romeo, better understanding the nuances of the environments that surround us has always served as a primer to designing within it. Over the last five years he has been observing the forgotten and underestimated areas of New York City through the moving lens of film.

His new documentary, And the Worlds That Surround, combines these striking visuals with experimental sound design, compelling interviews and captivating musical compositions to create a journey into a world within the world’s greatest city, while highlighting the impact that this urban development has had on the natural environment.

Join us for a screening at The New School’s Tishman Auditorium featuring a live performance of American composer Fritz Myers’s visceral score featuring cellist Evelyn Wadkins and violinist Andie Tanning.

Part of The New School’s Earth Month events. 

Speakers:

Eric Romeo, Architect, Filmmaker, Part Time Professor at Parsons

Fritz Myers, Composer, Creative Producer
