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).

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.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Election" (Alexander Payne\, 1999)
DESCRIPTION:About the Film: \nAlexander Payne directed this adaptation of Tom Perotta’s 1998 novel on dirty politics in a high school election\, which was inspired in part by the 1992 presidential race where George H. Bush\, Bill Clinton\, and Ross Perot vied for the U.S. presidency. Sabotage\, vandalism\, ballot irregularities–all feature in this disturbing and hilarious portrait of Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon)\, who will do anything to become student government president at Carver High School in Omaha\, Nebraska\, and Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick)\, the social studies teacher determined to stop her. \nThe film will be introduced by Jonathan Albrite\, English and Comparative Literature Department. \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.
