SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Om Shanti Om" (2007)
DESCRIPTION:A murder-mystery and romance combine in this Indian cult film that caps off our Global Cult Cinema series. \nOm Shanti Om\nFarah Khan\, 2007\, India\, 2h 42m \nIntroduction by Priya Shanker\, UNC-Wilmington \nFILM SYNOPSIS \nIn the 1970s\, Om\, an aspiring actor\, is murdered\, but is immediately reincarnated into the present day. He attempts to discover the mystery of his demise and find Shanti\, the love of his previous life. \nTICKETS \nFree tickets are available at the Varsity Theatre\, 123 E. Franklin Street\, Chapel Hill \n— \nABOUT THE GLOBAL CULT CINEMA SERIES \nFrom Rocky Horror Picture Show to The Big Lebowski\, cult classics are movies that become objects of adulation for their most dedicated fans. While some cult classics are good movies by conventional standards\, others are famous precisely because the director was more interested in having a good time than winning awards. In this series\, we’ll show four global cult classics (or soon to-be classics)\, including Çetin İnanç’s 1982 science-fiction action film Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (“The Man Who Saved the World”)\, which infamously “borrowed” special effects sequences from Star Wars and Lo Wei’s 1972 film The Big Boss\, which made Bruce Lee an international star. Tears of the Black Tiger pays homage to Thai action films and melodramas of the 1950s\, crossing that indelible line between reverence and parody. Om Shanti Om also pays tribute to a golden era of filmmaking\, only in this case it’s concerned with recreating the over-the-top dance numbers of 1970s Bollywood filmmaking. \nThe Spring 2022 Global Cult Cinema series\, co-organized by the Ackland Art Museum and the Film Studies Program in the Department of English and Comparative Literature\, is presented in connected with an installation in Ackland Upstairs\, the Museum’s second floor gallery featuring short term displays of works being used in conjunction with university classes. This semester\, visitors can find examples of posters from the Ackland’s collection on display for Research Methods in Film Studies: Histories of Moviegoing.

SUMMARY:Radical Healing and Decoloniality: Museums in Transition
DESCRIPTION:This talk by Amanda Maples\, Curator of African Art at the NC Museum of Art\, is part of UNC Chapel Hill’s African Studies Center’s Decolonizing African Studies Series.  \nWith the advent of global protests urgently calling for social justice and the end of systemic racism\, museums have been called upon to reflect on their own institutional histories and grapple with the role they have played in perpetuating stereotypes and inequities—both in gallery and collections representation\, and within their administration. A critical aspect of this relatively recent pursuit to decolonize includes facing the violence at play in colonial and imperial histories\, and making efforts towards reparations more broadly. Such momentum has catapulted museums into a period of transition and their responsibilities are fundamentally changing towards creating space for radical healing. \nRegister here for this free virtual talk! \nOrganized by the African Studies Center\, College of Arts and Sciences\, UNC-Chapel Hill.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Tears of the Black Tiger" (2000)
DESCRIPTION:Our Global Cult Cinema series continues with this Thai cult film blending westerns and romance. \nTears of the Black Tiger\nWisit Sasanatieng\, Thailand\, 2000\, 1h 50m \nIntroduced by Martin Johnson\, UNC Dept. of English & Comparative Literature \nFILM SYNOPSIS \n“In the countryside of Thailand\, a gang of outlaws makes the region unsafe. Among them is the handsome hero Dum\, who became unwillingly involved in the bandit life. Dum made a promise to his upper-crust lover Rumpoey: despite the class difference\, they will get married. When the moment of reunion arrives\, Dum gets involved in a fire fight and cannot possibly reach Rumpoey in time. She is desperate: her father has married her off to a policeman. The taciturn Dum\, called the ‘Black Tiger’ by his co-conspirators\, does everything in his power to reach her\, but fate gets in the way: his gang leader suspects him of treachery and his blood brother turns into his greatest enemy. Will the two lovers ever meet up? This urgent question propels the melodrama forward\, supported by exciting music\, spectacular shootouts and heroic duels.” —Anonymous (IMDB) \nTICKETS \nFree tickets available at the Varsity Theatre\, 123 E.

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.

SUMMARY:Last Look Tour: "The Beautiful Brain"
DESCRIPTION:On the exhibition’s final day\, join Peter Nisbet\, Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs\, for a final reflection on the captivating Cajal drawings and contemporary scientific images of The Beautiful Brain. \n\nAbout The Beautiful Brain \nSantiago Ramón y Cajal’s drawings of the brain are both aesthetically astonishing and scientifically significant. The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal is the first museum exhibition to present these amazing works within their historical context. \nScientists throughout the world know Cajal (1852–1934) as the father of the study of the structure and function of the brain—i.e. modern neuroscience. One of his most important discoveries was that individual cells called neurons make up the brain (most late-19th century scientists believed that the brain was a continuous\, interconnected network). The centerpiece of The Beautiful Brain is 80 original drawings by Cajal lent by the Cajal Institute in Madrid\, Spain. Contemporary neuroscience imagery provides a context for these remarkable works. Read more… \n  \n  \n\nThe Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal was organized by the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota with the Cajal Institute\, Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)\, Madrid\, Spain. \n \nThe Ackland presentation of this exhibition has been made possible in part by generous support from Betsy Blackwell & John Watson and the UNC Neuroscience Center at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Medicine. \n\nSantiago Ramón y Cajal\, calyces of Held in the nucleus of the trapezoid body\, 1934\, ink and pencil on paper. 5 5/8 × 3 5/8 in.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Brainstorm" (1983\, USA)
DESCRIPTION:Ackland Film Forum | Spring 2019\nFantastic Voyage: Cinematic Journeys into the Brain \nTuesday\, 19 March 2019 | 7 PM\nVarsity Theatre\, 123 E. Franklin Street\nBrainstorm (1983\, USA)\, d. Douglas Trumbull\, 106 m. \nTICKETS:\nFree for UNC One Card holders; $7 general public. Tickets available at the Varsity Theatre Box Office. \nHelmed by the special effects pioneer Douglas Trumbull\, whose work on 2001: A Space Odyssey\, Close Encounters of the Third Kind\, Blade Runner\, and many others films has made him a legend\, Brainstorm was intended to be the film that would establish Trumbull as the contemporary of Stanley Kubrick\, Steven Spielberg\, and Ridley Scott. But the drowning death of Natalie Wood\, the film’s star\, toward the end of production delayed the film’s completion\, and the resulting fight over whether the film was worth more in the theaters or as a liability write-off so flustered Trumbull that he gave up on directing altogether. But the film\, almost entirely shot in North Carolina\, is a visionary work on the capacity of virtual reality to blur the lines between what we actually experience\, and what we experience through media technologies. \nWe will have two brief introductions to the film. The first\, from George Smart\, will focus on the depiction of modernist architecture in the film\, including the Burroughs Wellcome building in RTP. Then\, Jose Rodriguez-Romaguera will discuss the film’s portrayal of neuroscience. \nJose Rodriguez-Romaguera is a neuroscientist and postdoctoral fellow in the Stuber Lab at the University of North Carolina. George Smart is a self-described “accidental archivist” and the executive director of North Carolina Modernism Houses and USModernist\, nonprofit organizations that document\, preserve\, and promote Modernist design. He’s also the host of the podcast U.S. Modernist Radio. \nABOUT THE SERIES:\nThe Spring 2019 Ackland Film Forum series “Fantastic Voyage: Cinematic Journeys into the Brain” is organized by the Ackland Art Museum and the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature and presented in connection with the Ackland’s exhibition The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal (25 Jan – 7 April 2019).

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Fantastic Voyage" (1966\, USA)
DESCRIPTION:Ackland Film Forum | Spring 2019\nFantastic Voyage: Cinematic Journeys into the Brain \nTuesday\, 19 Feb 2019 | 7 PM\nVarsity Theatre\, 123 E. Franklin Street\nFantastic Voyage (1966\, USA)\, d. Richard Fleischer. 101 m. \nTICKETS:\nFree for UNC One Card holders; $7 general public. Tickets available at the Varsity Theatre Box Office. \nDirected by Richard Fleischer (Soylent Green\, 20\,000 Leagues Under the Sea) and featuring Raquel Welch in her breakout role\, Fantastic Voyage is a Jules Verne-style science fiction adventure film adapted for the Cold War era. Instead of dreaming of trips to the moon or the ocean depths\, scientists are seeking to perfect the miniaturization of the atom. When the story begins\, scientists can miniaturize atoms\, but the effect lasts for just one hour. A Soviet scientist has devised the solution to permanent miniaturization and escapes to the United States with this knowledge. Before he is able to make it to the lab\, he is shot\, and develops a brain clot that is inoperable. A team of pilots\, surgeons\, and scientists\, including Welch\, volunteer to be miniaturized\, along with their ship\, aptly named the Proteus\, and go into the scientist’s body to operate on the clot. Like much of mid-century science fiction\, Fantastic Voyage provides a mix of fabulous set designs\, retrograde gender politics\, and a heady optimism for the future. \nABOUT THE SERIES:\nThe Spring 2019 Ackland Film Forum series “Fantastic Voyage: Cinematic Journeys into the Brain” is organized by the Ackland Art Museum and the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature and presented in connection with the Ackland’s exhibition The Beautiful Brain: The Drawings of Santiago Ramón y Cajal (25 Jan – 7 April 2019).
