Upcoming Events

Skidmore Unplugged

From October 24th-November 14th, Skidmore residents will compete residence hall against residence hall to try and reduce their energy consumption by the greatest percentage.  Each residence hall is individually metered so students can now see how much electricity each residence hall is using in real time.  Skidmore Unplugged website will be posted during the competition.

Investigating the Hudson
A Film Screening

As part of its ongoing Lives of the Hudson exhibition, the Tang Museum will present "Investigating the Hudson," a rare opportunity to view selected films by experimental filmmaker Peter Hutton. Hutton's luminous and meditative films of cities, rivers, and landscapes have been hailed by Cahiers du cinéma as "a sort of primitive documentary, which celebrates the beauty of the world without forgetting to observe people, the conditions they live and work under."

 

Taking place over four November nights—Nov. 10, 12, 17, and 19—the screenings will begin at 7 p.m. in the Tang. Hutton will take part in a question-and-answer session following the Nov. 19 showing. Hutton's Study of a River (1994-96) and Time and Tide (1998-2000) will be shown Nov. 10 and 19, and his Two Rivers (2001-02) will be shown Nov. 12 and 17.
