Garbagemen, women's films and the overthrow of Sal
vador Allende's Chilean government are examples of
topics that the Sheldon Film Theater will present this fall.
Opening the schedule will be Harlan County U.S.A.,
by Barbara Kopple, a blockbuster Academy Award winner
for best documentary, to be shown September 6 through
10. . .
"We show these films as an art form, like any other
medium featured at Sheldon," said Dan Ladely, director
of the Sheldon Film Theater. "They are works of high
quality and different styles done by good film makers
who keep with the. contemporary scene. We try to get'
films with no other outlet, that is commercial theatres and
television."
This marks the 25th year of. the Foreign Film Series
sponsored by the Union Program Council. Films will be
shown Sunday through Tuesday on alternating weeks
throughout the season. Admission will be by , season
tickets only, $9 for students, $10 for faculty members
and staff and $15 for general public.
Foreign Film series ticket holders also will receive a
fifty-cent discount to all films in the Foreign Classics
series. .
"This year we will be featuring several films by women,
including selections from the Internatiorial Festival of
Womens Films," Ladely said. "I think this is an important
series because the women organized this society to show
they can do as well as men in a field that has not been
very open to them. There is a good mixture and quality in
these films."
Another feature will be the Film-makers Showcase; a
retrospective of prominent directors' works. After evening
showings, the directors will discuss their works with the
audience.
The first of these will be The Filmsof A Ibert and
David Maysles, September 20 through 24. The Maysles
are noted for their documentary work, and included on
the program will be: What's Happening! The Beatles in
the USA, Meet Marlon Brando, Showman (on Joseph
Levine), A visit with Truman Capote, Christo's Running
Fence, Gimme Shelter, Salesman, and Grey Gardens.
v Grey Gardens is a critically acclaimed film about
Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter,the eccentric aunt
and cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Qnassis, who
live in the delapidated remains of their seaside mansion.
The film is a prime example of the Maysles subtle,
probing documentary style. Albert Maysles will discuss his
works -at 'the evening showings on Sept. 23 and 24. The
showcase is free or by donation.
