COOL WORLD

Tickets: (812) 855-1103
Shirley Clarke was a vital part of the burgeoning
post-war American film movement, and has been
considered the most important female director
of that period; creating art, controversy and ac-
claim throughout her career. She was one of the
first signers -- and the only woman -- of the New
American Cinema manifesto in 1961. IU Cinema
hosts Dennis Doros from Milestone Films, to pres-
ent a program of three of the director's important
works and discuss their restoration of Portrait of
Jason, a program that he presented at the Berlin
International Film Festival earlier this year. The se-
ries is sponsored by Department of
Communication and Culture,
Black Film Center/Archive,
Indiana University Film
and Media Studies,
and IU Cinema. Spe-
cial thanks to profes-
sors Joan Hawkins
and Michael Martin.
Screenings are free,
but ticketed.
