SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Ackland Film Forum Panel | Spellbinding: The Cinematic Virtuosity of Barry Jenkins
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, due to unforeseen circumstances owing to the artists’ schedules\, this event has been cancelled. \n— \nAcross his three feature films to date (Medicine for Melancholy\, Moonlight\, and If Beale Street Could Talk)\, Barry Jenkins has devised a new cinematic vocabulary for the portrayal of Black experience in the United States. With sumptuous imagery and hypnotic soundscapes\, Jenkins has embraced aesthetic beauty as a strategy for addressing the past and present injustices that bear on the lives of marginalized characters. His 2021 miniseries\, The Underground Railroad is adapted from Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. A haunting\, atmospheric account of two runaway slaves in the Antebellum South\, the series is Jenkins’ most daring directorial work yet. \nThe Ackland Film Forum and the Department of English and Comparative Literature will host two virtual screenings (Tuesdays\, September 21 and September 28\, 8 p.m.) in celebration of the department’s 225th anniversary. See below for full details. \nCANCELLED: Virtual Roundtable Discussion\nTuesday\, October 5\n“Spellbinding: The Cinematic Virtuosity of Barry Jenkins” \nOur virtual roundtable will feature two of Jenkins’ longtime collaborators: Joi McMillon (editor\, and the first Black woman to be nominated in the Best Editing category of the Academy Awards) and Onnalee Blank (re-recording mixer/supervising sound editor). Join us for a conversation with these artists about how they work together to make such intensely affecting sounds and images\, saturated with emotion and keyed to social consciousness. \nThe roundtable will be moderated by Rick Warner (Director of Film Studies at UNC-Chapel Hill and Associate Professor\, English and Comparative Literature). This virtual roundtable discussion will be held on Zoom. \nUnfortunately\, due to unforeseen circumstances owing to the artists’ schedules\, this event has been cancelled. \n— \nFull Ackland Film Forum Fall Line-Up \nFirst Virtual Screening\nTuesday\, September 21\, 8-10 p.m.\n“Chapter 1: Georgia”\n“Chapter 2: South Carolina” \nRegister here for first screening and watch party link  \nSecond Virtual Screening\nTuesday\, September 28\, 8-10 p.m.\n“Chapter 8: Indiana Autumn”\n“Chapter 9: Indiana Winter” \nRegister here for second screening and watch party link \nCANCELLED: Virtual Roundtable Discussion\nTuesday\, October 5\n“Spellbinding: The Cinematic Virtuosity of Barry Jenkins” \nUnfortunately\, due to unforeseen circumstances owing to the artists’ schedules\, the panel discussion has been cancelled. \nThese virtual screenings and the roundtable are co-sponsored by the Ackland Film Forum and the Department of English and Comparative Literature in celebration of the department’s 225th anniversary.

SUMMARY:Artist Conversation: Christopher Myers
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual conversation between artist Christopher Myers and the Ackland’s Lauren Turner\, assistant curator for the collection. Myers’s work Fish Pieta (2020)(seen at right) is a new acquisition in the Museum’s permanent collection and is featured in the 2021-2022 Close Looks series. In this free Zoom webinar\, we’ll hear from Myers about this recently-acquired work and how it fits into his larger body of work exploring global cultural exchange. \nGet free tickets to this virtual webinar below! Registered participants will receive a Zoom link in the email provided. \n— \nChristopher Myers is an artist and writer who lives in New York. While he is widely acclaimed for his work with literature for young people\, he is also an accomplished fine artist who has lectured and exhibited internationally. He writes\, “I’ve been asking the question lately\, ‘What does it mean to be an artist whose work is rooted in the experience of global cultural exchange?” \nMore than the simple small-world market-driven exchanges that mark some artists\, whose practices are rooted in the anthropological or outsourcing models of cultural exchange\, he is interested in the aesthetic bridges that have been built organically across cultures\, classes\, and geographies\, and has been creating work in those in-between spaces for years. His practice can be divided into two categories\, work by his own hands that lives in the syncretic\, the hybrid\, and the improvised\, and collaborations with artisans from around the globe\, extending the conversation of cultural movement across continents and artistic milieus. \nHe has worked with traditional shadow puppet makers in Jogjakarta\, silversmiths in Khartoum\, conceptual video artists in Vietnam\, young musicians in New Orleans\, woodcarvers in Accra\, weavers in Luxor and many other artists\, who he sees as all being part of one large conversation about the movement of culture\, and the ways that languages are borrowed globally\, traded from South to South\, in order to address the specific local concerns of people that have been thrust into contexts that range far beyond their locality. \nFrom https://www.kalyban.com/ \n— \nLive closed captioning will be provided for this event.

The display includes works by a wide range of artists\, including Domenichino\, Jan van Goyen\, Thomas Gainsborough\, Edgar Degas\, Otto Dix\, Robert Motherwell\, Thornton Dial\, Marcel Dzama\, and Lauren Frances Adams. The works are presented in ten thematic sections: Varieties of Portraiture; American Abstraction of the 1960s; Fantasy and Transformation; Image and Text in Contemporary Art; German Modernism; Christian Piety; Landscapes and Architectures; Cartoon and Caricature; Sketches and Studies in Nineteenth-Century France and Britain; and a special wall devoted to Very Recent Arrivals which can accommodate new acquisitions made even during the run of the show. \nDrawing Attention\, organized by Peter Nisbet\, deputy director for curatorial affairs\, has been made possible by generous support from the Ackland’s National Advisory Board.

SUMMARY:Curator's Conversation: Introduction to "Visions of Venice"
DESCRIPTION:Join Dana E. Cowen\, Sheldon Peck Curator for European and American Art before 1950\, for an in-depth look at Visions of Venice. In this virtual discussion\, participants will learn more about the circumstances of Whistler’s 1879 trip to Venice\, his unique views of the floating city\, his experimental working method\, and how his works were received back in London. \nVisions of Venice: Etchings by James McNeill Whistler from the Collection of Ambassador C. Boyden Gray showcases thirty of Whistler’s etchings of Venice and explores some of the artist’s most picturesque and atmospheric views of the city. Through his use of varied lines\, compelling compositional motifs\, and creative printing techniques\, Whistler depicted sites unknown to the average tourist\, such as back alleyways\, obscure canals\, and working-class neighborhoods\, that challenged the expectations of nineteenth-century viewers and still captivate us today. \n

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.
