Post-screening discussion and Q&A with Carolyn Rouse, Ritter Professor of Anthropology, and Erika Kiss, Director of Research Film Studio & Film Forum
As part of the Baldwin Circles project, the Humanities Council and the UCHV Film Form present a film screening of the newly restored documentary I Heard It Through the Grapevine followed by a conversation with co-director and co-producer Pat Hartley. I Heard It Through the Grapevine, directed by Pat Hartley and Dick Fontaine, follows James Baldwin as he retraces the history of the Civil Rights Movements after two decades. The film offers a window into the past, as Baldwin makes his way through the American South to listen to the reflections of close friends and central figures of the movement.

Final Cut is a so-called educational film directed by György Pálfi and produced by Béla Tarr for the Budapest Film University, where it is used regularly as a teaching aid. The film has attracted huge critical attention and was selected to be the closing gala screening of the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. It serves as a template for our collective film, Poetic Justice (working title), also in terms of copyright and distribution issues. The student “meme-scripting” group will work parallelly all during the week with the help of remote participants, who will send memes from the films for the various basic dramaturgical elements determined by the scriptwriters. This group will report back to the film school each day.
