A green and violet pattern text that says: film by Jeff Scher.

Jeff Scher's "Momento Mickey."

Jeff Scher's "Momento Mickey."

Date

By Nigel Sielegar

MFAD film history teacher Jeff Scher's latest film on the NY Times Opinion web page, "Momento Mickey," is a Halloween memento mori. Or as Scher notes: "Latin for 'remember you will die,' it is also a genre of art that uses death to remind the viewer that life is indeed fleeting. This is not necessarily morbid or macabre, but life-affirming in that it also reminds us that we’re not dead yet. There’s still time. So make it count."
