Jorgensen Lecture
with
Joe Swanberg and Amy Seimetz
Friday - August 24 - 3:00 p.m.
In the June 2011 issue of Senses of Cinema,
Brigitta Wagner stated that filmmakers like
Joe Swanberg "...make films without excus-
es. They make films about people their age,
their perception of the world, and their tech-
nological moment with the means available
to them." Thanks to the digital revolution and
self-marketing possibilities online, a surge of
new filmmakers has risen who were summarily
labeled as "mumblecore". "Much is made of
their youth, micro-budgets, digital aesthetics,
improvised dialogue, and penchant for col-
laboration." Joe Swanberg, arguably the most
prolific of these filmmakers, and Amy Seimetz,
actor and director, will present their films on
August 23 and 24. Screenings are $3.
