The multi-talented Miranda July visits Cleveland State University this month as a guest of the Northeast Ohio Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing consortium (NEOMFA). July is an author, actress, filmmaker and performance artist. This Tuesday, she gives a reading and interview with novelist Alissa Nutting in Drinko Hall. On Wednesday, July is back on campus for an invitation-only salon with NEOMFA students.
July’s books include It Chooses You (2011) and a collection of stories, No One Belongs Here More than You (2007). Her first feature-length film, Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005) – which she wrote, directed and starred in – won a special jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival and four prizes at the Cannes Film Festival. Her latest film is The Future (2011).
While in Cleveland, July will also appear on “The Sound of Applause” on WCPN 90.3 FM at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday. On Wed 11/20 at 7:30pm, The Future screens at the Cleveland Cinematheque, followed by a Q&A session with July. Admission is $7 with a CSU ID. The reading and interview in Drinko Hall at CSU is FREE and open to the public.
