In 1928, silent film titan Buster Keaton and Edward Sedgwick co-directed the film “The Cameraman,” which was also Keaton’s first film after signing to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The movie follows a young man named Buster — played by Keaton — as he attempts to secure a job at a newsreel agency in order to get closer to a girl who works there. It is considered by many to be among Keaton’s finest films and is most certainly one that encapsulates not only the zeitgeist of the 1920s, but the beauty of the era’s silent film. In its one hour and nine minutes, audiences get a glimpse into the world of the 20s and some of the wittiest displays of comedy that Keaton has to offer.

Is anyone else tired of sad girl pop? In recent years, the pop landscape has been flooded with Phoebe Bridgers and Lana Del Rey lookalikes, bringing us ballads that, while beautifully emotional, just wear the listener down after a while. The state of the world is depressing enough — we need escapist pop anthems to make us get up from our existential crises and dance. That’s why people latched onto Sabrina Carpenter’s lead single, “Espresso,” so strongly. From the track’s beachy, disco-pop sound to Carpenter declaring, “My give-a-fucks are on vacation,” “Espresso” filled the gap in the genre of feel-good music. Social media soon became addicted to “that me espresso” — whatever that truly means. With the subsequent release of Carpenter’s sixth studio album “Short n’ Sweet,” fans are confident that the five-foot-tall pop princess has brewed up a masterpiece.

Spookapella made its debut on Sunday Oct. 27 with spooky performances of Halloween-inspired songs. The event was hosted by Zac Gondelmen ’26 and Esther Rubin ’26, who welcomed the audience on a whimsically haunted tour of Brandeis’ a cappella clubs. However, their chipper attitude was quickly substituted by Rather Be Giraffes’ stunning performance which sent shivers running down spines. It all began as they led the way with their version of “Creep” by Radiohead. The song captured the essence of Halloween while remaining expertly sung.

One of the most celebrated pieces in film history, Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” — based on Arthur C. Clarke’s book of the same name — is revered as a technical wonder and exists in an interesting contrast to his other, often grotesque or disturbing films. The science fiction movie is essentially a story of progress and evolution, beginning with our ape ancestors and taking us well into the future of humanity. Here is a spoiler-free review of my favorite movie of all time!

Brandeis’ Craft Market returned to campus on Saturday Sept. 28 as booths of students and local artists populated the Fellows Garden. Pottery, keychains, crochet and illustrations showcased the unique skills of new and returning sellers. Though the event leadership recently changed to the Brandeis Art Club, the new forces behind it show that the community’s dedication to the arts is difficult to squash.

In the first days of the fall semester, a new Instagram account cropped up with the name “Brandeis Protects Artists.” In their “Who are we?” statement on Instagram, BPA explained, “Our mission is to foster a united front for artists from diverse backgrounds through unions, support groups, and initiatives that protect and promote creativity in every field. We are committed to expanding resources and opportunities for artists, ensuring they have the support needed to thrive.” This statement seemingly came in response to the diminishing value Brandeis has for arts programming. In the past year, the University has cut the doctorate programs in musicology and music composition, in addition to Brandeis Arts Engagement, a vital resource for students across disciplines interested in the arts. With staff layoffs and budget cuts, many feel the University is failing to prioritize and honor the “arts” segment of a liberal arts institution. In creating BPA, students are pushing back.
