(John Gianvito, US 2007, 58 min., Digital Projection)
Using Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States as a basis, filmmaker John Gianvito crafts an elegant and elegiac chronicle of the progressive movement in America by visiting cemeteries, plaques, and monuments. Told without narration, he pays homage to those who fought for their beliefs and who have been forgotten by popular history. Gianvito will answer questions about his work in a post-screening discussion. Preceded by THE INTERNATIONALE (Peter Miller, US 2000, 30 min., Digital Projection). Pete Seeger and Billy Bragg help tell the story of the legendary song that became the anthem for international socialism.
