SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Filibus" Watch Party and Panel
DESCRIPTION:This spring\, in collaboration with the Film Studies Programs in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at UNC-Chapel Hill\, the Ackland Film Forum continues its all virtual series on Queer Cinema\, now expanding to a selection of four international films for a look at Global Queer Cinema. View the selected films on your own or join us for a watch party. Watch parties will be followed by a live post-film panel discussion with scholars from around the globe. \nThe first film in the Global Queer Cinema series will be Filibus (Mario Roncoroni\, 1915\, Italy). The film will be available to stream January 29-February 4\, 2021 with a watch party on Tuesday\, February 2 at 7:30 p.m. followed by a live panel discussion at 9 p.m. Register below to receive a link to stream the film and a link to attend the panel via Zoom on February 2. \nThis program is sponsored by UNC University Libraries. The series is supported in part by Laughing Gull Foundation. \nAbout Filibus \nDirected by Mario Roncoroni and scripted by future science fiction author Giovanni Bertinetti\, Filibus is the most exciting\, witty\, feminist\, steampunk\, cross-dressing aviatrix thriller you will ever see! Previously seen in a badly subtitled\, imperfect version\, Filibus was recently remastered by the Eye Filmmuseum\, restoring the film’s marvelous range of Desmet tinting and toning in the original nitrate material. To bring the film back to its flavor of the period — when the characters Fantomas and Arsène Lupin were worldwide sensations — Milestone hired young poet Austin Renna to write new intertitles based on an improved translation by Eye’s archivist Elif Rongen-Kaynakçi. To go with this fantastical film\, the famed Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra AND Donald Sosin have created two new stunning scores! –Milestone Films \n  \nTuesday\, February 2\, 2021\nFilibus Watch Parties | Tweet along with Ackland and UNC Film Studies using #AcklandFilmForum \n7:30 p.m. Watch Party  \n9:00 p.m. Panel \nLink to the panel is provided with registration. Streaming links will be sent at a later date. Registration is open!

DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year (celebrated on February 12\, 2021) with a storytime\, UNC-Chapel Hill’s very own Flying Silk dance troupe\, and a closer look at works on display at the Ackland! \nEach month\, the Ackland hosts a free program for families\, kids\, and the young at heart featuring hands-on art activities\, live performances\, tours\, and more virtually! \nAckland Storytime\nLIVE Storytime: Chinese Lunar New Year \n2:30 P.M.

The group participates in cultural showcases across the state with the aim of introducing and educating surrounding communities on the beauty of traditional Chinese dance culture. \nCollection Connections: \nDish\, Unidentified Chinese Artist\, 1426-1435 \nVase\, Thomas Bezanson\, 1959-69 \nThe ox harkens imagery of strength and steadfastness\, but it also lends its likeness to the richly colored red of the two glazed ceramics featured above. ‘Sang de bouef’ glaze\, or oxblood\, gained prevalence in the Chinese Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and is characterized by its monochrome red. The striking coloring of ‘sang de bouef’ is achieved using copper oxide\, whose chemical composition allows for the pottery to mimic the depth of its namesake animal’s blood. \nThe Ackland holds both an original dish from an unidentified Chinese artist of the 15th century  and a mid-20th century vase from Canadian artist Thomas Bezanson in its collection\, both of which utilize the sang de bouef glaze. \nTo learn more about the history of ‘sang de bouef\,’ we encourage you to explore these resources: \n‘Sang de Bouef’ Vase\, The Cleveland Museum of Art \nVase\, called “The Flame”\, National Gallery of Art \nMetal Ox Origami Activity\nD.I.Y.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Happy Together" Watch Party and Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second film in the Ackland Film Forum’s spring series on Global Queer Cinema: Happy Together (Wong Kar Wai\, 1997). The series is a collaboration with the Film Studies Program in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at UNC-Chapel Hill\, and features a selection of four international films presented in connection with the Ackland’s Close Looks digital initiative. View the selected films on your own or join us for a watch party. Watch parties will be followed by a live post-film panel discussion with scholars from around the globe. \nHappy Together will be available to stream March 12-18\, 2021 with a virtual watch party on Tuesday\, March 16 at 7:30 p.m. followed by a live panel discussion at 9:15 p.m. We are excited to welcome Dr. Stephen Teo (Nanyang Technological University\, Singapore) for our post-film panel\, who will be in conversation with Rick Warner (UNC-Chapel Hill) and Martin L. Johnson (UNC-Chapel Hill). Register for free tickets below to receive a link to stream the film and a link to attend the panel via Zoom on March 16. \nAbout Happy Together  \nOne of the most searing romances of the 1990s\, Wong Kar Wai’s emotionally raw\, lushly stylized portrait of a relationship in breakdown casts Hong Kong superstars Tony Leung and Leslie Cheung as a couple traveling through Argentina and locked in a turbulent cycle of infatuation and destructive jealousy as they break up\, make up\, and fall apart again and again. Setting out to depict the dynamics of a queer relationship with empathy and complexity on the cusp of the 1997 handover of Hong Kong — when the country’s LGBT community suddenly faced an uncertain future — Wong crafts a feverish look at the life cycle of a love affair that’s by turns devastating and deliriously romantic. Shot by ace cinematographer Christopher Doyle in both luminous monochrome and luscious saturated color\, Happy Together is an intoxicating exploration of displacement and desire that swoons with the ache and exhilaration of love at its heart-tearing extremes. —Janus Films  \nTuesday\, March 16\, 2021\nHappy Together Watch Parties | Tweet along with Ackland and UNC Film Studies using #AcklandFilmForum \n7:30 p.m. Watch Party  \n9:15 p.m. Panel \nLink to the panel is provided with registration.

SUMMARY:Virtual Family & Friends Sunday: Pottery and Postcards
DESCRIPTION:Explore the Tar Heel State through pottery and postcards! Get a closer look at works from the Ackland and Wilson Library’s Special Collections. Both pottery and postcards can be functional\, aesthetically pleasing\, and fun to make! Each can also inform us about the past-  what North Carolina used to look like or how objects have changed over time. \nEach month\, the Ackland hosts a free D.I.Y program for families\, kids\, and the young at heart featuring hands-on art activities\, live performances\, tours\, and more. \nA mix of D.I.Y. and live interactive activities await you\, inspired by central North Carolina! \nNorth Carolina’s First Peoples and Pottery\nWe start off with North Carolina’s First Peoples\, many who were potters and makers. Explore this page for information about early pottery in our area\, and thank you to the Research Laboratories of Archaeology at UNC-Chapel Hill for this research! \nArt-Making Activity: Coil Pots\nWatch a quick YouTube video to learn how to make a Salt Dough Coil Pot! \nMake a Coil Pot with Salt Dough Clay PDF (Accessible) \n“The Woodland people at Doerschuk who made Badin ware used manufacturing techniques similar to those in neighboring regions. They strengthened vessels for firing by adding sand and sometimes pebbles to the wet clay. Also\, like people throughout the ancient Southeast\, they used the method called coiling to make their pots. \nBasically\, coiling involves making long ropes or “coils” of clay. Starting at the base\, potters build the vessel’s walls by placing coils on top of each other. They then blend the coils together and thin the walls by hitting the sides with a wooden paddle. After the walls are built and paddled\, the pot is then fired to harden the clay. \nOften people wrapped the paddle with string\, or covered it with fabric\, or carved it with a design. Every time the paddle hit the pot (while the clay was still wet\, of course)\, it left a reverse impression of the string or design on the pot’s surface. Archaeologists call this technique paddle stamping.” – Research Laboratories of Archaeology at UNC \nVirtual Mini Field Trip -Seagrove\, N.C.\nThe town of Seagrove is a destination for pottery enthusiasts and makers alike! It is home to the NC Pottery Center.  \nWatch these short clips to learn more. \nVideo #1 \nVideo #2 \nRead this article about Seagrove in Artsy. \nPostcard Exploration\nNorth Carolina Postcards is a project of the North Carolina Collection\, located in historic Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives holds more than 12\,000 North Carolina postcards contained primarily in two collections: the North Carolina Postcard Collection and the Durwood Barbour Collection of North Carolina Postcards. \nThis digital project contains a selection of materials from the North Carolina Collection’s postcard collections\, including at least one image for each of North Carolina’s one hundred counties. Several counties have a close tie to pottery historically or culturally\, which we have listed below (this list is by no means complete!) \nBadin\, North Carolina \nBuncombe County\, North Carolina \nHaywood County\, North Carolina \nMoore County\, North Carolina \nCollection Connection\nCurrently\, a variety of North Carolina ceramics is on view in Object Lessons through May 14\, 2021.
