We're delighted to host this program with Susan Seidelman in honor of Women’s History Month! https://www.instagram.com/desperately_seeking/

Susan Seidelman is an alumna of the Graduate Film program at New York University and began her career in the 1980s, when her movie “Smithereens” became the first American independent film to be accepted into the Cannes Film Festival. Her next movie, “Desperately Seeking Susan,” starring Madonna and Rosanna Arquette, was a critical and commercial success.

Seidelman has directed dozens of other films, starring actors like Meryl Streep, Brooke Shields, and Sally Field, as well as the first four episodes of the iconic HBO series “Sex and the City.” In 2024, she wrote the book “Desperately Seeking Something: A Memoir About Movies, Mothers, and Material Girls.”

Susan Seidelman will be interviewed by multimedia artist, graphic designer, and documentary filmmaker Heidi Gelover. https://www.heidigelover.com/
