Marina is a young waitress and aspiring singer. Orlando is 20 years older than her\, and owns a printing company. After celebrating Marina’s birthday one evening\, Orlando falls seriously ill. Marina rushes him to the emergency room\, but he passes away just after arriving at the hospital. Instead of being able to mourn her lover\, suddenly Marina is treated with suspicion. The doctors and Orlando’s family don’t trust her. A woman detective investigates Marina to see if she was involved in his death. Orlando’s ex-wife forbids her from attending the funeral. And to make matters worse\, Orlando’s son threatens to throw Marina out of the flat she shared with Orlando. Marina is a trans woman and for most of Orlando’s family\, her sexual identity is an aberration\, a perversion. So Marina struggles for the right to be herself. She battles the very same forces that she has spent a lifetime fighting just to become the woman she is now – a complex\, strong\, forthright and fantastic woman. \nThis event is supported in part by Laughing Gull Foundation. \nA Fantastic Woman Watch Party | Tweet along with Ackland and UNC Film Studies using #AcklandFilmForum \n7:30 p.m. Watch Party  \n*Please note there is a space between the letters and numbers in your Username* \n9:30 p.m. Panel \nLink to the panel is provided with registration.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Fire" Watch Party and Panel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the third film in the Ackland Film Forum’s Global Queer Cinema Series\, Deepa Mehta’s Fire (1996\, Canada/India). 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. \nFire will be available to stream April 9-15\, 2021 with a virtual watch party on Tuesday\, April 13 at 7:30 p.m. followed by a live panel discussion at 9:30 p.m. We are excited to welcome Dr. Gayatri Gopinath (New York University) for our post-film panel\, who will be in conversation with 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 April 13. \nAbout Fire: \nRadha (Shabana Azmi) is unwavering in her devotion to her husband Ashok (Kulbushan Kharbanda)\, despite their sexless arranged marriage. For 15 years Radha has been the consummate Indian wife while Ashok\, under the guidance of a spiritual leader\, is attempting to rid himself completely of any form of desire. Meanwhile\, Ashok’s brother Jatin (Jaaved Jaaferi) has brought home his new wife Sita (Nandita Das)\, but is unwilling to give up his relationship with his Chinese girlfriend. Added to the mix are Biji (Kushal Rekhi)\, Ashok and Jatin’s infirm mother\, who keeps a watchful eye over the family\, and Mundu (Ranjit Chowdhry)\, who works in the family’s restaurant and video store under their small apartment. Slowly\, Sita’s presence causes the threads that held the family together to unravel. Each member tries to hang on to a semblance of allegiance to the deeply rooted traditions of Indian family life\, while at the same time seeking expression for their own personal needs and desires. Unable to woo her new husband\, the young and feisty Sita is the first to question the order of things. Her doubts are contagious\, and soon Radha’s devotion begins to waver too. Deprived of their husbands’ affections\, the two women draw closer together in ways neither imagined. \nDirector-writer Deepa Mehta has captured the shifting landscape of the entire Indian subcontinent\, where both men and women are caught in the immense tension between the continuity of the extended family and the desire for greater freedom and independence. Lusciously photographed and passionately told\, FIRE ignites the senses as well as the emotions. \nThis event is supported in part by Laughing Gull Foundation. \nFire Watch Parties | Tweet along with Ackland and UNC Film Studies using #AcklandFilmForum \n7:30 p.m. Watch Party  \n9:30 p.m. Panel \nLink to the panel is provided with registration.

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:Artist Conversation with Shanequa Gay
DESCRIPTION:This event has now passed. Watch a recording of the talk below! \nJoin us for a conversation between artist Shanequa Gay and Lauren Turner\, the Ackland’s assistant curator for the collection. They will discuss Gay’s commissioned installation holding space for nobility: a memorial for Breonna Taylor\, which is now on view in the Ackland’s ART& gallery. \nholding space for nobility: a memorial for Breonna Taylor is a site-specific installation that features monumental chimeric figures rendered in oil and acrylic. Gay merges Breonna Taylor’s likeness with deer and zebra features in a technique of juxtaposition that she employs throughout her artmaking practice. The resulting hybrid guardians incorporate multiple characteristics of the natural world to facilitate healing and empowerment. An altar-like display of vintage Tiara black glassware and salt water transforms the gallery into a space for collective mourning while the monochromatic installation starkly reminds viewers that Taylor’s death resulted from forces that shape the lives of countless Black Americans. \nShanequa Gay\, an Atlanta native\, has exhibited at the Zuckerman Museum (Kennesaw\, GA)\, the Hammonds House Museum (Atlanta\, GA)\, the Hayti Heritage Center (Durham\, NC)\, the McColl Center for Art + Innovation (Charlotte\, NC)\, and the Chattanooga African American Museum (Chattanooga\, TN). For more information about her work\, please go to www.shanequagay.com. \nThis installation and related programming have been made possible by the generous support of James Keith Brown and Eric Diefenbach.\n\nRecording of our “Artist Conversation with Shanequa Gay” held Friday\, Nov 13\, 2020. Also available on the Ackland’s YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Talk: "Afropessimism" by Frank B. Wilderson III
DESCRIPTION:The Ackland Art Museum has postponed this program as part of our response to the spread of coronavirus COVID-19 and based on recommendations from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Any additional updates will be posted on the Museum’s website. \n\n\n\nWith the narrative drive of a captivating novel\, and the intellectual rigor of critical theory at its best\, Afropessimism illustrates how Black death\, both real and symbolic\, is necessary for the material and psychic life of the Human species—and not just White people.  Few writers have the courage to set fire to the world while soaked in kerosene. Frank B. Wilderson III is one of them. Here is the match. Some readers will experience Afropessimism as a high wire act between rage and paranoia. Others will welcome it as a breath of sanity. \nPresented in connection with ART& Intergalactic Soul: Project LHAXX. Sponsored by the Carolina Seminar for Afrofuturism\, Black Optimism\, and Afropessimism and the Ackland Art Museum.
