After a month's hiatus (lots of conference-going around here), Aca-Media is back! This month features Julie Wilson discussing her recent Cinema Journal article about celebrity activism. Then we bring you a roundtable on teaching experimental film and video that will interest you even if you never teach that topic--just lots of great insights into teaching media generally. Finally, Chris shares some of the shows she's most excited about viewing this summer.
