The 40 Year-Old Revolution
If you weren't able to catch the Chicago Film Archives earlier series on the 1968 Democratic Convention, or if you did and loved it, then you may want to check out what Facets Cinémathèque has in store for the end of this month. In a series entitled "40 Years After: Filming the '68 Revolution," they'll be showing at least two films every night for a week on the events of that tumultuous year. Some highlights include "Berkeley in the '60's," a documentary about the rise of student activism, and "Medium Cool," a film about a journalist who discovers that his work is being used for sinister governmental purposes. The series will culminate in a panel discussion with some of the filmmakers on their experiences documenting and drawing inspiration from a social and political revolution. Check out the Facets website for the full schedule of events beginning on August 22.
