Faculty members create documentary about philosopher
Jul 17, 2014
What do two faculty members and a French philosopher have in common?
They’re all in West Michigan this week shooting a documentary on
Alain Badiou, who the New York Times called “France’s most famous
living philosopher.”
Jason Adams, an adjunct faculty member in the School of
Communications, and Azfar Hussain, associate professor of liberal
studies, are producing the film with a colleague from Virginia Tech.
Badiou was interviewed in Allendale, Grand Rapids and Holland.
The filmmakers raised $10,000 to fund the film via Indiegogo.
It’s expected to be released in early 2015.
Adams was Badiou’s graduate student at the European Graduate
School; Hussain said he has been interested in Badiou since he worked
in Bangladesh as a journal editor.
