The Carla Kuhn Memorial Guest Speaker Series
The Carla Kuhn Memorial Fund was established in 1991 in memory of Film Division alumna Carla Kuhn. The fund supports a visiting speakers program that has blossomed into one of the Film Division's most anticipated weekly events. Among the filmmakers who have recently screened their films and participated in question-and-answer sessions with students are David Lynch, Mike Leigh, Tim Roth, Jafar Panahi, John Kilik, Ed Harris, Debra Winger, Kenneth Lonergan, Alison MacLean, Tsai Ming-liang, Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, Stephen King and William Goldman (in a double bill), and, most recently, Stanley Donen, who celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of directing Singin' in the Rain.
