Join PMA for the Honors Thesis Screening on Thursday, May 7, at 5:00 pm in the Kiplinger Theatre, Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts. This exciting showcase of honors film projects by the Cornell Senior Class will feature Undone by Izzy Falchuk ’26, and The Extraordinary Adventures of Ann Robinson by Justin Lee ‘26. Experience outstanding storytelling and gain insight directly from the student directors during a Q&A session following the event. Free and open to the public. Tickets are not required.
Undone, directed by Izzy Falchuk ’26, follows a young woman rebuilding her life in New York after a devastating betrayal shatters her sense of love and safety. She must confront the question she’s been running from: Who is she without her trauma? Undone is a tense, intimate character drama about trauma’s afterlife, and the moment healing stops being an idea and starts becoming a choice. (25 min)
The Extraordinary Adventures of Ann Robinson, directed by Justin Lee ’26, follows the titular character through three separate stories that each investigate the absurdity of human existence across varying genres. The film explores themes of existentialism, absurdism, identity, and rebellion, whilst pushing the stylistic and formal bounds of film. (25 min)
