Ackland Film Forum: Politics on Film, Tuesdays in October
October 1 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
An event every week that begins at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, repeating until October 29, 2024
About the Series:
Join the Ackland Film Forum every Tuesday evening in October for Politics on Film, a timely series featuring five American films that explore the rise to political fame and power. The series will include A Face in the Crowd (Kazan, 1957), Medium Cool (Wexler, 1969), Being There (Ashby, 1979), Election (Payne, 1999), and Chisholm ’72: Unbought and Unbossed (Lynch, 2004). As we all look toward Election Day on November 5, the series will also kick off with a voter registration drive at the first two screenings on October 1 and 8.
All films will be screened at 7:30 p.m. at the Varsity Theatre (123 E. Franklin Street). Tickets are free, but must be reserved on the Ackland’s website. UNC-Chapel Hill students can receive CLE credit for attending by scanning the QR code at the event.
The Fall 2024 Ackland Film Forum series Politics on Film is co-organized by the Ackland Art Museum and UNC Film Studies, housed in the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature.
