 TION: \nJoin us for a screening of John Waters' cult classic Polyester (19
 81) the way audiences first encountered it—with Odorama! This playful an
 d provocative experience highlights Waters’ camp aesthetics and legacy i
 n experimental and queer cinema\, while also exploring how scent functions
  as a tool for satire.  \n\nAbout the Film \nBlessed with a keen sense of 
 smell and cursed with a philandering pornographer husband\, a parasitic mo
 ther\, and a pair of delinquent children\, the long-suffering Francine Fis
 hpaw turns to the bottle as her life falls apart—until deliverance appea
 rs in the form of a hunk named Todd Tomorrow. This dark comedy written\, p
 roduced\, and directed by John Waters satirizes the melodrama film genre\,
  the “woman’s film” category\, and suburban life of the early 1980s.

DESCRIPTION:Note: If you are interested in attending this event\, please R
 SVP here or select the "Register" button on this page.\n\nThe eighth and f
 inal Faculty Pub Night of the 2026-27 season features Gregory Ruzzin (Scho
 ol of Film and Television) and Eric Strauss (Seaver College of Science and
  Engineering). They will discuss their recent film collaboration\, "Rooted
  in Change: The Story of the Gottlieb Native Garden."\n\nAbout Faculty Pub
  Night\n\nStudents\, staff\, faculty\, alumni\, and members of the public 
 are all invited to the 2026-27 series of Faculty Pub Night at the William 
 H. Hannon Library. Eight LMU professors are selected annually to discuss t
 heir latest publication or project in a comfortable setting and format tha
 t welcomes diverse perspectives for an inclusive conversation aimed to edu
 cate the entire community. All Faculty Pub Nights are free and open to the
  public.\n\nAbout the Authors' Work\n\nWhat is possible when art and scien
 ce come together? One of the many challenges scientists face in talking ab
 out the climate crisis and the rapid exploitation of the Earth is that the
 ir message often comes across as apocalyptic and alarming - and let’s be
  honest\, that can be hard to engage with.\n\nIn their film Rooted in Chan
 ge: The Story of the Gottlieb Native Garden\, Gregory Ruzzin and Eric Stra
 uss take a different approach. By sharing the story of Susan Gottlieb and 
 the extraordinary garden that she started in her back yard 33 years ago\, 
 their film reveals the power of native plants to combat climate change and
  species decline around the globe while simultaneously reveling in the bea
 uty of the natural world. The story is shared through Susan’s perspectiv
 e and grounded in a sense of wonder and gratitude.\n\nOver her 30-plus yea
 rs of dedication and perseverance\, Susan’s garden has become a living e
 xample of positive physical and cultural change - a reminder of the good w
 ork that people are capable of. Her garden’s impact has spread to instit
 utions across Los Angeles\, inspired similar efforts in neighborhoods with
  a wide range of socioeconomic realities\, and proven that everyone can pl
 ay a role in protecting our planet.\n\nEric and Greg believe science is mo
 st powerful when it is accessible to everyone and invites participation. T
 onight’s presentation will include excerpts from the film\, and they enc
 ourage you to join the conversation and see yourself as a stakeholder in t
 he future of our climate. Attendees will be provided a free link to watch 
 the film following the evening’s event.\n\nAbout the Authors\n\nGregory 
 Ruzzin is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker and educator who teaches courses i
 n fiction and documentary directing at LMU’s School of Film and Televisi
 on. His recently completed film “Rooted in Change: The Story of the Gott
 lieb Native Garden” was made in cooperation with the LMU Center for Urba
 n Resilience and the Gottlieb Native Garden Foundation. In 2022 Ruzzin was
  awarded a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship for “SMALL WORLD THIS: Cycl
 ing\, Climate Change\, and Japan”\, which explores the relationships bet
 ween energy\, cycling\, and the natural environment. He produced 13 short 
 films while in Japan and is currently editing a longer-form project filmed
  in Japan in 2022/23. His film “St. Declan’s and THE MAGIC CHAIR” (2
 024)\, made with and about the children of a unique Jesuit school for chil
 dren with disabilities in Dublin\, Ireland\, was released by Indie Rights 
 Films in 2024 and awarded the Best Children’s Film award at the 2023 Hel
 sinki Educational Film Festival International.\n\nHelping his younger sist
 er Alyssa\, who lives with epilepsy and a developmental disability\, tell 
 her story in their documentary feature film “Lost Child?” (2012) marke
 d a turning point in his career\, luring Ruzzin from fiction into non-fict
 ion storytelling.  A committed cyclist and bike commuter in a city known f
 or its car-centric culture\, he can often be found with his camera and his
  bike\, meditating over the miles. \n\nEric Strauss has served since 2010 
 as President's Professor of Biology at Loyola Marymount University and exe
 cutive director of the LMU Center for Urban Resilience (CURes). With colla
 borative research specialties in animal behavior\, human/animal conflict\,
