The Consider the Alternatives documentary film series returns on Friday, March 8, at 7:00 p.m. with a personal appearance by documentary filmmaker Dani Leventhal. She will show several of her short films and participate in a Q&A session afterward as part of M&T Second Fridays at the Burchfield Penney Art Center.

Leventhal's moving autobiographical videos, which offer surprising contrasts between the everyday and the extraordinary, have drawn international attention at screenings in festivals and museums such as the Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, the Ann Arbor Film Festival, the Rotterdam International Film Festival, the Hammer Museum, the Los Angeles Filmforum, the New York Film Festival, PS1, and Anthology Film Archives. Her work is also in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.

Consider the Alternatives is a documentary screening series programmed by associate professor Meg Knowles and professor Michael Niman of the Buffalo State Communication Department. This event is cosponsored by the Burchfield Penney Art Center, the Communication Department, and Squeaky Wheel Media Arts Center. Free to members of the Buffalo State community.
