SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Medium Cool" (Haskell Wexler\, 1969)
DESCRIPTION:About the Film: \nRenowned cinematographer Haskell Wexler (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966); In the Heat of the Night (1967)) directed this film about a cynical Chicago TV news reporter (Robert Forster). Wexler anticipated the protests and riots outside the 1968 Democratic National Convention and wrote them into the script\, resulting in a startling fusion of documentary and fiction in this portrait of a pivotal moment in American politics. \nAbout the Series: \nJoin 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).  \nAll 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. \nThe 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.  \n
