SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Boyhood" (Richard Linklater\, 2014)
DESCRIPTION:Filmed over twelve years with the same cast members who conspicuously age from segment to segment\, Boyhood offers one of cinema’s most literal and radical explorations of coming of age. Following Mason (Ellar Coltrane) from early childhood through his first days of college\, the film refuses traditional narrative climaxes in favor of accumulation: small moments\, shifting family dynamics\, and incremental changes in perception as time itself figures as the “main character.” Linklater’s method allows us to experience maturation as something lived\, uneven\, and quietly profound. \nThe film will be introduced by Rick Warner\, Bowman and Gordon Gray Distinguished Term Professor and Director of Film Studies. \n  \nThis film will be screened at 7:30 p.m. at The Lumina Theater (620 Market St\, Chapel Hill\, NC 27516). \nTickets are free for all audience members\, and registration is required via The Lumina’s webpage. Please click here to reserve your free ticket. UNC-Chapel Hill students can receive CLE credit for attending by scanning the QR code at the event. \n  \nAbout the Series: \nJoin the Ackland Film Forum this spring for Growing Up\, Looking Back\, a series that accompanies the Ackland exhibition Bill Bamberger: Boys Will Be Men. This semester’s series highlights the filmgoing experience by using three local movie theaters as its venues. \nThis film series is dedicated to the memory of Allison Portnow Lathrop\, former Head of Public Programs at the Ackland Art Museum. For more than a decade\, Allison was an indispensable champion of film culture on campus and in Chapel Hill\, most notably through her visionary stewardship of the Ackland Film Forum. She fostered a spirit of generous collaboration among faculty\, students\, and artists. Her belief in the power of cinema lives on in the conversations and shared experiences she helped create. \nThe Ackland Film Forum is co-organized by the Ackland Art Museum and UNC Film Studies\, housed in the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Crooklyn" (Spike Lee\, 1994)
DESCRIPTION:Set in 1970s Brooklyn\, Crooklyn recounts childhood from the perspective of nine-year-old Troy Carmichael (Zelda Harris)\, whose coming of age unfolds within the rhythms of Black family life\, neighborhood culture\, and social constraint. The film balances warmth and humor with moments of rupture\, revealing how maturity often arrives through confrontation with authority\, injustice\, and grief. Lee presents growing up as both deeply personal and inseparable from place\, race\, and community—an education shaped as much by environment as by experience. \n  \nThe film will be introduced by Daelena Tinnin-Gadson\, Assistant Professor of Black Film Studies and African American Literature. \nThis film will be screened at 7:30 p.m. at the Varsity Theatre (123 East Franklin Street\, Chapel Hill\, NC 27514). Tickets are free\, but must be reserved on the Ackland’s webpage. Register below. UNC-Chapel Hill students can receive CLE credit for attending by scanning the QR code at the event. \n  \nAbout the Series: \nJoin the Ackland Film Forum this spring for Growing Up\, Looking Back\, a series that accompanies the Ackland exhibition Bill Bamberger: Boys Will Be Men.
