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: Zig Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual conversation between artist Zig Jackson and the Ackland’s Lauren Turner\, assistant curator for the collection. Jackson’s photograph Entering Zig’s Indian Reservation\, China Basin\, San Francisco\, CA is featured in the Ackland’s 2021-2022 Close Looks series. In this free virtual conversation\, we’ll hear from Jackson about this 1997 work\, others in the series and about how it fits into his larger body of photography. \nRegister below for a free ticket. A Zoom link will be sent to all registered participants via email. \nZig Jackson (Rising Buffalo) is a photographer of Mandan\, Hidatsa\, and Arikara descent who was raised on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota. Though art was always part of his life\, he began formally learning sketching\, painting\, and then photography during his primary and second education within the government Indian boarding school systems. Jackson earned a bachelor’s degree in education at Northeastern Oklahoma State\, while also studying with several area artists\, before pursuing his interest in photography through continued studies at the University of New Mexico. In 1994\, Jackson received a Master of Fine Arts in photography from San Francisco Art Institute. He is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards and grants including a residential fellowship at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito\, California; a Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation Grant for excellence in the photographic arts\, which culminated with an exhibition\, “Entering Zig’s Indian Reservation\,” at the American Indian Contemporary Arts center in San Francisco; a National Millennium Survey Grant; and the inaugural Beaumont Newhall Award for Photographic Excellence from the New Mexico Humanities Council. In 2005\, Jackson became the first Native American photographer collected by the Library of Congress\, when twelve of his images were accessioned by its Prints and Photographs Division. Jackson has taught photography at Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe\, at San Francisco State University and UC Davis\, and beginning in 1999 at the Savannah College of Art and Design\, where he is now professor emeritus. \nThis program is supported by the Orange County Arts Commission.
