Sasha Waters, professor in the Department of Photography and Film, will contextualize her latest documentary film, “Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World,” sharing insights into the making of the first cinematic portrait of the beloved U.S. poet. The film reflects Waters’ larger body of work as an artist drawn to figures who are outsiders and arrive at recognition on their own terms.
