SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: Beasts of the Southern Wild (early screening)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first screening in the Ackland Film Forum’s Spring 2023 series “Do Something: Responding to Climate Change” presented by UNC Film Studies Program and the Ackland Art Museum. \nBeasts of the Southern Wild (Behn Zeitlin\, 2012)\nVarsity Theatre\, 123 E. Franklin Street | 7:30 p.m. (early screening)\nFREE TICKET REQUIRED (below) \nIntroduction by Dr. Martin L. Johnson (English and Comparative Literature\, UNC-Chapel Hill) \nSYNOPSIS \nNominated for four Academy Awards\, Beasts of the Southern Wild was a breakout hit at the Sundance Film Festival and launched the career of actor Quvenzhané Wallis\, who plays the lead character\, Hushpuppy. In this film\, Hushpuppy and her father live in a close knit bayou community they call the “Bathtub\,” protected by the levees that shape the Mississippi Delta. When a storm arrives\, their lives are turned upside down\, reminding us of the fragility and importance of community. Behn Zeitlin’s directorial debut is a stunning and immersive film that captures the trauma of natural disaster\, and its connection to events that are far bigger than ourselves. \nTICKETS \nFree tickets are required\, as space is limited. Click below to get a free ticket for the 7:30 p.m. early screening. Free tickets are also available for the 9:15 p.m. late screening. \nABOUT THE SERIES \nDo Something: Responding to Climate Change\nAckland Film Forum | Spring 2023 \nWe are living in the age of the Anthropocene\, a geological epoch shaped by human activity. And yet\, we\, as individuals\, and as a society\, have difficulty addressing the climate change that we helped create. In this series\, we’ll consider films in which humans respond to climate change. We’ll see people who escape floodwaters\, fight off mining companies\, care for plants\, launch protests\, and simply take a walk in the woods. Instead of proposing a single way to address climate change\, these films will offer us ways to contemplate the relationship between ourselves\, the world we live in\, and the world we want it to be. \nPresented in connection with Ghost of a Dream: Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution) on view at the Ackland Art Museum through May 28\, 2023.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: Short Films by Ghost of a Dream
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the second screening in the Ackland Film Forum’s Spring 2023 series Do Something: Responding to Climate Change presented by UNC Film Studies Program and the Ackland Art Museum. \nShort Films by Ghost of a Dream and More\nVarsity Theatre\, 123 E. Franklin Street | 7:30 p.m.\nFree Tickets at the Varsity Theatre \nJoin the artist collective known as Ghost of a Dream – Lauren Was and Adam Eckstrom – as they present an evening of their own short films and select films by fellow artists\, including a collection made for the Little Sun Foundation. Ghost of a Dream will introduce their selections and hold an artist Q&A following the films.  \nTICKETS \nFree tickets are available the evening of the screening at the Varsity Theatre. \nABOUT THE SERIES \nDo Something: Responding to Climate Change\nAckland Film Forum | Spring 2023 \nWe are living in the age of the Anthropocene\, a geological epoch shaped by human activity. And yet\, we\, as individuals\, and as a society\, have difficulty addressing the climate change that we helped create. In this series\, we’ll consider films in which humans respond to climate change. We’ll see people who escape floodwaters\, fight off mining companies\, care for plants\, launch protests\, and simply take a walk in the woods. Instead of proposing a single way to address climate change\, these films will offer us ways to contemplate the relationship between ourselves\, the world we live in\, and the world we want it to be. \nPresented in connection with Ghost of a Dream: Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution) on view at the Ackland Art Museum through May 28\, 2023.

SUMMARY:"Both Man and Beast and the Creeping Thing" by Lee Weisert
DESCRIPTION:Experience a three day sound installation by composer and UNC composition professor Lee Weisert. Weisert’s Both Man and Beast and the Creeping Thing will be on view in the Ackland’s ART& space February 10-12\, 2023 in connection with Good Object / Bad Object. In this new exhibition\, the Ackland examines how contemporary sculpture might employ unexpected placement\, language\, reflectivity\, accumulation\, and other strategies to subvert our understanding of how “good objects” might “behave badly.” Both Man and Beast and the Creeping Thing will likewise challenge the observer to question exactly how sculptures are “supposed to behave” in a museum setting. \nA large suspended sphere of slowly melting ice drips into a metal receptacle. A contact microphone mounted to the bottom of the receptacle tracks the rhythms of the falling drops\, triggering a computer-controlled speech sampler. Speech fragments from the Book of Genesis (The Flood) are played in order\, on a loop. Both Man and Beast and the Creeping Thing was premiered at the Elsewhere Museum in Greensboro\, NC\, and was on long term view at Western Carolina University in 2014. \nLee Weisert is a composer of instrumental and electronic music and an associate professor in the Music Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, where he teaches courses in composition\, electronic music\, and musicianship. He has degrees in music composition from the University of Colorado\, California Institute of the Arts\, and Northwestern University. Weisert’s recent music has incorporated increasingly disparate elements such as orchestral instruments\, found sounds\, field recordings\, digital synthesis\, and analog circuitry\, in an attempt to find\, “through experimentation\, tinkering\, and unconventional approaches\, a ritualistic and deeply expressive world of sound” (Dan Lippel\, New Focus Recordings). His instrumental music has been commissioned and performed by nationally recognized performers and ensembles including Stephen Drury\, the Callithumpian Consort\, ICE\, JACK Quartet\, Spektral Quartet\, Yarn/Wire\, Wild Rumpus\, Matthew McClure\, Clara Yang\, and Joann Cho.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Pushed Up the Mountain" (Julia Haslett\, 2020)
DESCRIPTION:Join the Carolina Asia Center and the UNC Department of Communication for a screening of the feature-length documentary Pushed Up the Mountain\, directed by UNC’s own Prof. Julia Haslett. \nPushed Up the Mountain (Julia Haslett\, 2020)\nFedEx Global Education Center\, UNC-Chapel Hill | 5:45 p.m.\nFree\, no tickets required. \nDoors open at 5:30pm\, with the screening starting at 5:45pm. At 7pm\, there will be a Q&A with Prof. Julia Haslett. \nSYNOPSIS \nPushed Up the Mountain is a poetic and personal film about plants and the people who care for them. Through the tale of the migrating rhododendron\, now endangered in its native China\, the film reveals how high the stakes are for all living organisms in this time of unprecedented destruction of the natural world. Beginning in the Scottish Highlands\, the film travels between conservationists in Scotland and China who devote their lives to the rhododendron’s survival. Patiently observed footage of conservationists at work combines with centuries-old landscape paintings and the filmmaker’s speculative voice to create a thought-provoking film about human efforts to protect nature for and from ourselves. \nDoors open at 5:30pm\, with the screening starting at 5:45pm. At 7pm\, we will have a Q&A with Prof. Julia Haslett. \nMore info: https://carolinaasiacenter.unc.edu/event/pushed-up-the-mountain/  \nTICKETS \nNo tickets are required for this event. \nABOUT THE SERIES \nDo Something: Responding to Climate Change\nAckland Film Forum | Spring 2023 \nWe are living in the age of the Anthropocene\, a geological epoch shaped by human activity. And yet\, we\, as individuals\, and as a society\, have difficulty addressing the climate change that we helped create.
