From the moment they met, Patrick Bresnan and Ivete Lucas knew they would make art together. They collaborated on visual art installations and photography projects, but their most fertile ground is through the lens of documentary film.
Matt Peiken of See Hear talks with Patrick and Ivete about their newest film, “First They Came For My College,” which brings viewers inside the conservative takeover of the New College of Florida by the administration of Florida governor Ron DeSantis. The next screening, along with a post-film discussion, happens 7p Nov. 17 at Asheville's Fine Arts Theatre.
Our conversation goes far deeper than this film, tracing the couple’s unconventional path from the worlds of graffiti art, photojournalism, and underground media to uncompromising filmmakers with Sundance credits, a courtship with HBO and the integrity at the core of their careers.
