This past Tuesday, December 17th, celebrated the birthday of filmmaker and UCSB alum Gregg Araki. Back in March of this year, we were joined with Araki at the Pollock Theatre for a screening of his newly restored 90s classic, Nowhere, in addition to a Q&A. This event was co-sponsored by UCSB’s film and media studies program, and our very own KCSB-FM. Araki is known for directing films such as Mysterious Skin, The Doom Generation, Smiley Face, his work on the show 13 Reasons Why, amongst other films. His film ‘Nowhere’, along with the other films within his Teen Apocalypse Trilogy have recently been remastered and restored from the 35mm negative to 4k. It’s complete with scenes that were deleted for the original release due to rating restrictions, and the original score. KCSB's Kelly Darroch spoke with Araki for a few minutes after the screening and Q&A!
