In honor of World AIDS Day, NYU Wagner presents a screening of "Buddies," the first dramatic film about AIDS. 

Released in 1985 and shot on a shoestring budget, the film depicts the relationship between a person with AIDS and his volunteer buddy. The film co-stars Geoff Edholm and David Schachter (Tisch BFA, 1982; Wagner MPA, 1994; Wagner Associate Dean for Admissions and Student Affairs) and was directed and written by Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. A Q&A with David Schachter will follow the screening.

NYU Wagner provides reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities. Requests for accommodations for events and services should be submitted at least two weeks before the date of the accommodation need. Please email drs5@nyu.edu or call 212.998.7400 for assistance.
