SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "The Legend of Drunken Master" (Lau Kar-leung\, 1994)
DESCRIPTION:The Legend of Drunken Master (also known as Drunken Master II) \nDir. Lau Kar-leung\, 1994  \nCo-sponsored by Carolina Asia Center and presented at the Nelson Mandela Auditorium\, FedEx Global Education Center\, 301 Pittsboro St\, Chapel Hill \nIntroduced by Prof. Rick Warner\, English & Comparative Literature\, Director of Film Studies \nJackie Chan\, the most highly skilled and daring combiner of comedy and martial arts in the history of cinema\, plays the historical figure Wong Fei-hong in this exuberant action showcase that Time magazine calls one of the 100 greatest films ever made. Set in early 20th century China\, the plot hinges on family conflicts and a national confrontation with British colonial rule. Will Wong Fei-hong be able to harness his remarkable command of the “drunken boxing” style of hand to hand combat\, despite the fact that this very style brings his family public embarrassment? A long-delayed sequel to a 1978 production that also starred Chan\, this anticolonial action comedy from Hong Kong elicits laughter and awe in equal measure as it sets out to reclaim for onscreen martial arts a sense of physical veracity and grace that had gotten lost on account of wirework and other special effects for which Chan and legendary director/action choreographer Lau Kar-leung have little use.  \nThis Fall’s Ackland Film Forum series\, Nineties Flashback\, is presented by the Ackland Art Museum and the UNC Film Studies Program\, part of the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature. Tonight’s screening is co-sponsored by the Carolina Asia Center. \nDoors open at 6:45 p.m. \nAll Ackland Film Forum screenings are part of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Campus Life Experience program.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Ring" (Hideo Nakata\, 1998)
DESCRIPTION:Ring\nDir. Hideo Nakata\, 1998 \nCo-sponsored by Carolina Asia Center and presented at the Nelson Mandela Auditorium\, FedEx Global Education Center\, 301 Pittsboro St\, Chapel Hill \nIntroduced by Chapel Hill Film Society \nThis small\, modestly budgeted Japanese film caused an international sensation and inspired countless sequels\, remakes\, and rip-offs. Produced before “viral video” was a concept in our digital era\, Ring concerns a VHS tape that enchants and curses anyone who watches it\, marking them for death. As a spectator\, one feels almost physically exposed to the contagious media within the film by virtue of our perceptual relationship to the screen. Far more interesting than its over-the-top American remakes\, Ring makes use of low-key atmospheric stimuli\, slowing the pace and thinning out the expressive field so that the mere sound of wind or the crack of a doorway from offscreen raises the hair on your neck. Taking inspiration not only from Japanese ghost story traditions but also from Western films such as The Innocents\, The Haunting\, and Poltergeist\, this film is one of the standouts of the decade\, a must-see that launched “J-horror” as a global phenomenon. \nThis Fall’s Ackland Film Forum series\, Nineties Flashback\, is presented by the Ackland Art Museum and the UNC Film Studies Program\, part of the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature. Tonight’s screening is sponsored by the Carolina Asia Center. \nDoors open at 6:45 p.m. \nAll Ackland Film Forum screenings are part of UNC-Chapel Hill’s Campus Life Experience program.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Pushed Up the Mountain" (Julia Haslett\, 2020)
DESCRIPTION:Join the Carolina Asia Center and the UNC Department of Communication for a screening of the feature-length documentary Pushed Up the Mountain\, directed by UNC’s own Prof. Julia Haslett. \nPushed Up the Mountain (Julia Haslett\, 2020)\nFedEx Global Education Center\, UNC-Chapel Hill | 5:45 p.m.\nFree\, no tickets required. \nDoors open at 5:30pm\, with the screening starting at 5:45pm. At 7pm\, there will be a Q&A with Prof. Julia Haslett. \nSYNOPSIS \nPushed Up the Mountain is a poetic and personal film about plants and the people who care for them. Through the tale of the migrating rhododendron\, now endangered in its native China\, the film reveals how high the stakes are for all living organisms in this time of unprecedented destruction of the natural world. Beginning in the Scottish Highlands\, the film travels between conservationists in Scotland and China who devote their lives to the rhododendron’s survival. Patiently observed footage of conservationists at work combines with centuries-old landscape paintings and the filmmaker’s speculative voice to create a thought-provoking film about human efforts to protect nature for and from ourselves. \nDoors open at 5:30pm\, with the screening starting at 5:45pm. At 7pm\, we will have a Q&A with Prof. Julia Haslett. \nMore info: https://carolinaasiacenter.unc.edu/event/pushed-up-the-mountain/  \nTICKETS \nNo tickets are required for this event. \nABOUT THE SERIES \nDo Something: Responding to Climate Change\nAckland Film Forum | Spring 2023 \nWe are living in the age of the Anthropocene\, a geological epoch shaped by human activity. And yet\, we\, as individuals\, and as a society\, have difficulty addressing the climate change that we helped create. In this series\, we’ll consider films in which humans respond to climate change. We’ll see people who escape floodwaters\, fight off mining companies\, care for plants\, launch protests\, and simply take a walk in the woods. Instead of proposing a single way to address climate change\, these films will offer us ways to contemplate the relationship between ourselves\, the world we live in\, and the world we want it to be. \nPresented in connection with Ghost of a Dream: Aligned by the Sun (through the revolution) on view at the Ackland Art Museum through May 28\, 2023.
