SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Z" (Costa-Gavras\, 1969)
DESCRIPTION:Yves Montand\, Jean-Louis Trintignant\, and Irène Papas headline this electrifying political thriller. A politician is assassinated in broad daylight\, setting in motion an investigation that gradually exposes the distance between official narratives and lived reality. Racing ahead with remarkable urgency\, Z channels late-1960s anti-authoritarian currents and the growing sense that democratic institutions can no longer be taken at face value. \nThis film will be introduced by Professor Henry Veggian\, UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature. \nIt will be screened at 7:30 p.m. at The Lumina Theater (620 Market St\, Chapel Hill\, NC 27516). Tickets are free for all audience members\, and registration is required via The Lumina’s webpage. When this link is live\, click to reserve your free ticket. \nUNC-Chapel Hill students can receive CLE credit for attending by scanning the QR code at the event. \n  \nAbout the Series: \nJoin the Ackland Film Forum this fall for Crime Thrillers from the Americas: Snapshots of Social Anxiety\, a series that accompanies the Ackland exhibition Care and Concern: Recent Acquisitions of Modern and Contemporary Art. \nAs vehicles of social commentary and stylistic bravura\, crime thrillers often register the pressures and contradictions of their historical moment. Across nearly half a century\, the films in this series stage encounters with political power\, public trust\, inequality\, and ambition through assassination plots\, botched robberies\, and media-driven spectacle. \nFrom the crises of the late 1960s to the intensified media environments of the twenty-first century\, these works show how genre cinema can capture social anxiety in real time. Each film stands both as a gripping narrative and as a record of a world under strain\, where institutions falter and everyday life becomes fraught with conflict. \nThe Ackland Film Forum is co-organized by the Ackland Art Museum and UNC Film Studies\, housed in the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature. \n

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Dog Day Afternoon" (Sidney Lumet\, 1975)
DESCRIPTION:Al Pacino and John Cazale lead one of the defining crime films of the 1970s. What begins as a poorly planned Brooklyn bank robbery soon becomes a public spectacle shaped by television cameras\, police theatrics\, and an increasingly invested crowd. Made in the aftermath of Watergate\, the film finds humor\, empathy\, and absurdity amid a pervasive atmosphere of social distrust. \nThis film will be introduced by Professor Rick Warner\, UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature\, Director of Film Studies. \nIt will be screened at 7:30 p.m. at The Lumina Theater (620 Market St\, Chapel Hill\, NC 27516). Tickets are free for all audience members\, and registration is required via The Lumina’s webpage. When this link is live\, click to reserve your free ticket. \nUNC-Chapel Hill students can receive CLE credit for attending by scanning the QR code at the event. \n  \nAbout the Series: \nJoin the Ackland Film Forum this fall for Crime Thrillers from the Americas: Snapshots of Social Anxiety\, a series that accompanies the Ackland exhibition Care and Concern: Recent Acquisitions of Modern and Contemporary Art. \nAs vehicles of social commentary and stylistic bravura\, crime thrillers often register the pressures and contradictions of their historical moment.
