BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Lights, camera, memories.
As a film crew set up in Moravian University’s art studio, director Katina Sossiadis, who studied there as an undergrad, thought about her late film professor Rudy Ackerman.
Ackerman, a professor, chairman of the Moravian College Art Department from 1963 to 2002 and executive director of the Baum School of Art, died in 2015.
An arts icon, he was just one of the many local professors who inspired Katina Sossiadis and her sister, Koula Sossiadis Kazista, they said.
“Moravian shaped me as an artist,” said Katina Sossiadis, who graduated from Moravian in 1993.
“It was essential to us that we were going to feature Bethlehem, and it was even more surreal being back on campus because I lived in the art department as a student.”
For several weeks in July, the siblings shot their second movie, “Next in Play,” on the fields and classrooms of the Bethlehem campus.
