Virtual Alumni Film Series: ‘Ham on Rye’ with Tyler Taormina ’13

October 12, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT

Screenings are available for 24 hours starting at 7:00 pm EST Tuesday on Cinesend. Live conversations start at 7:00 pm EST Wednesday, streamed to Cinesend or directly on Zoom, where you can ask questions of our speaker directly.

Ham on Rye, a coming-of-age comedy centered on the nervous excitement of youth and the strange horror of entering adulthood, uses an expansive ensemble of more than 100 performers to explore a suburban community’s relationship with a prom-like ritual and the decay of the human spirit. It begins with the crowd-pleasing spirit of a John Hughes movie and fades slowly into an off-kilter dystopia with the energy of Dazed and Confused.  Conversation with director Tyler Taormina ‘13 on Wednesday, October 12th at 7pm EST.

Ham on Rye is Taormina’s debut film. It premiered at Locarno Film Festival and went on to receive critical acclaim, including Best Films of the Year lists from The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Slant Magazine, and more. His work explores vast ensemble casts and draws influence from ’60s European art cinema and ’90s kids’ television.
