The Making of The End is Nigh! with Celi Mitidieri, Beaux Dejaune, Axel Alexander, and Andy Trinh
There’s more than one New College documentary out there! We chat with Celi Mitidieri, the Ringling filmmaker of two short docs showing the takeover from the inside, along with several New College alums, main characters of the latest film. They explain how their cohort engaged in the fight for the right to party, how transfers affect culture, and the importance of maintaining a community with real people in real spaces. Inside info is dropped on the unusual ways the unoccupied Pei dorms are used nowadays and we get a Gen Z take on the diverse historical and fictional end-of-the-world narratives that were the inspiration for apoCOUPlypse 2025, one last joyful celebration of the New College that once was … along with reflections on the way nothing ever really ends. CULTURE WAR is a short documentary on the takeover. THE END IS NIGH is currently being edited, but you can learn more about it on Culture War’s Seed & Spark and Linktree pages. Maybe sign up for the newsletter? Alexandra Levy/Old School Catalyst about the COUP. “Camilla Mortenson’s silent protest” was a silent march and wall party in protest of walls being shut down over noise complaints. (Camilla may or may not have been one of the organizers, but she was notably present.) The party pitch deck. The film pitch deck. “Zombie studies” was a favorite slam from the governor. HCL-8 is the Teaching Auditorium mentioned in previous film-focused eps. “Transitory population” is a growing problem with NCF student metrics. In May 2015, a student and a guest died of fentanyl overdoses. COUP Crash Course. Viet Thanh Nguyen spoke at Alt Grad 2025. True numbers of international athletes are difficult to determine; many enter in spring semester (in part to avoid counting them against the “First Time In College” enrollment metrics). The official count is 14.3%. The New College Student Alliance archives are an ongoing project. Callbacks: Miles Iton, Jonathan White, Harry Hanbury.
