SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: Andre DeToth\, "House of Wax" (1953\, US)
DESCRIPTION:Andre DeToth\, House Of Wax (1953\, US) \nAlthough best known as one of the few films that successfully exploited the 3D fad of the 1950s\, Andre DeToth’s film House of Wax begins as a sensitive portrait of a sculptor struggling to keep his small\, dignified wax museum afloat. After experiencing what appears to be a career-ending tragedy\, the sculptor has to change tact\, stopping at nothing to keep his museum operating.  \nPart of the Ackland Film Forum Fall 2022 series “Art and Artifice” co-organized by the UNC Film Studies Program and the Ackland Art Museum. \n— \nABOUT THE SERIES:  \nArt and Artifice \nIn movies we allow our imaginations to touch the realities of our world. The films that impact us most are often those that are not true\, but could be. Artists\, behind and in front of the camera\, give us license to dream and fear. In this series\, we explore films that engage and expand the idea of creativity. From sculptors to dressmakers\, performers to survivors\, these films all ask what it means to create art in the cinema. \nThe series is presented by the Ackland Art Museum and UNC Film Studies\, part of the Department of English and Comparative Literature\, in connection with Houseguests: American Art from the Art Bridges Collection Loan Partnership. \n7:30 p.m. at the Varsity Theatre\, 123 E. Franklin Street\, Chapel Hill \nTuesday\, August 30: Ang Lee\, Life of Pi (2012\, US) \nWednesday\, September 7: Andre DeToth\, House Of Wax (1953\, US) \nTuesday\, September 13: Blake Edwards\, Victor/Victoria (1982\, US) \nTuesday\, September 20: Charles Allen\, Sidewalk Stories (1989\, US) \nTuesday\, October 4: Peter Strickland\, In Fabric (2018\, UK)

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: Blake Edwards\, "Victor/Victoria" (1982\, US)
DESCRIPTION:Blake Edwards\, Victor/Victoria (1982\, US) \nOne of the first mainstream Hollywood films to frankly discuss the complexity of gender and sexuality\, Blake Edwards’s Victor/Victoria is a backstage musical that continually calls into question what it means to perform. Set in Paris in the 1930s\, Julie Andrews plays the titular role\, an actor and singer who finds her breakout role as a female impersonator. Because she’s the presumed lover of an aging\, openly gay\, theater stalwart\, Caroll “Toddy” Todd (played by Robert Preston\, best known as the star of The Music Man)\, no one suspects that she’s a woman\, even the men who are pursuing her. Based on a 1933 German film\, Victor/Victoria is a delight to watch\, with a lively script and some spectacular musical numbers.  \nPart of the Ackland Film Forum Fall 2022 series “Art and Artifice” co-organized by the UNC Film Studies Program and the Ackland Art Museum. \n— \nABOUT THE SERIES:  \nArt and Artifice \nIn movies we allow our imaginations to touch the realities of our world.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: Charles Allen\, "Sidewalk Stories" (1989\, US)
DESCRIPTION:Charles Lane\, Sidewalk Stories (1989\, US)  In this nearly silent homage to Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid (1921)\, Charles Lane directs and stars in a film about a street artist who unexpectedly becomes the caregiver of a toddler. Set on the streets of lower Manhattan\, where Lane’s character is one of many unsheltered people struggling to get by\, the film effortlessly blends the gritty realism of 1980s New York with the slapstick sensibilities of films made sixty years earlier. \n Part of the Ackland Film Forum Fall 2022 series “Art and Artifice” co-organized by the UNC Film Studies Program and the Ackland Art Museum.  \n— \nABOUT THE SERIES:  \nArt and Artifice \nIn movies we allow our imaginations to touch the realities of our world.

SUMMARY:Ackland F.A.M.: Dutch Drawingfest
DESCRIPTION:An all-ages celebration of drawing to mark the opening weekend of the Ackland’s newest exhibition\, Drawn to Life: Master Drawings from the Age of Rembrandt in the Peck Collection at the Ackland Art Museum. Events include: \nThe Living Line: watch as animator Stella Rosalie Rosen\, MFA ’22\, brings pieces from Drawn to Life into conversation with one another through frame-by-frame animation using graphite on paper. Viewers will see how the images are animated in real time under a camera\, as the camera’s visual feed is projected on the wall. The end result will be a short film incorporating imagery from the exhibition as it was originally perceived by the artists — moving through time and vibrating with life. \nSketching in the Galleries: all are invited to learn the fundamentals of classical drawing at drop-in drawing stations in the galleries with instructor Daniel Hammer\, artist and Ackland Drawing for Tweens teacher. \n\nF.A.M. Activity Kits: pick up an art kit with drawing supplies to use in the galleries or take home with you! Available beginning Sept 25 and while supplies last.\n\nThis program is supported by the Orange County Arts Commission and by the North Carolina Arts Council\, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
