Please Hold (2025, Director: Alexandra Juhasz) is an experimental documentary engaging with decades of activist media, two death bed videos, and the wisdom of many living “AIDS workers,” as we all sit together in one (changing) format, video—VHS, hi-8, digital, Zoom—to address these and other questions. Post-screening discussion with director Alexandra Juhasz (Distinguished Professor of Film, Brooklyn College) and Pato Hebert (Associate Chair and Arts Professor, Tisch School of the Arts Art’s Department of Art and Public Policy).

Co-sponsors: NYU Cinema Studies and Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality.

Event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Event registration is required. NYU ID or photo ID for non-NYU attendees required upon entry.
