Kendall Phillips, professor in the Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies, collaborated with Jared Case, curator of film exhibitions at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, New York, and College of Arts and Sciences Professor Will Scheibel for a nine-film series to explore the varied ways filmmakers have taken source material from comic books and brought it to the screen.
“Beyond the Universe: Comic Books and Film” will run from June through August at the Dryden Theatre in Rochester and spotlight films from the past 45 years.
