Cinema Studies Professor FTW
Timothy Corrigan, a professor in Penn's Cinema Studies Department, won the SCMS Kovács Book Award for his book The Essay Film: From Montaigne, After Marker. His book was applauded for its global perspective on the essay-film genre (what?) and was described as "well-written, articulate, and intellectually engaging," according to the selection committee.
Naturally, the question on our minds right now: why wasn't he the one interviewing recent guest speaker James Franco?
