Cinema fare
Union offers diverse films for 8
By TODD DAVIS
Starr Writer
Union Free Flicks are back this fall
with a very diverse movie line-up that has
something for everyone. Far better than
the vast TV wasteland, Free Flicks are
shown in the Carolina Union Auditorium.
Admission for most films is free with a
valid UNC student ID or Union Privilege
Card, with one guest allowed per ID.
However, there are a number of shows
for which admission is charged films
shown on Fridays cost $1.00, and Satur
day matinees cost 50C. Tickets for these
films are available at the Union Informa
tion Desk on the Monday prior to each
show. Fall film schedules are available at
the Union Information Desk while they
last.
This fall the film schedule features
many special programs, including two
film festivals, Lecture and Film Night,
UNC Student Film Night, and 3-D Film
Night.
The first film festival starts August 31
and for four consecutive Tuesdays focuses
on Academy-A ward-winning actor Dustin
Hoffman. The Dustin Hoffman Festival
exhibits Hoffman acting in a wide range of
offbeat roles. In Lenny, Hoffman por
trays the tragic life of comedian Lenny
Bruce, who was a comedian before his
time with no last laughs. In Straight Time,
Hoffman is a working class ex-con who
can't seem to adjust to a world without
prison bars. Perhaps Hoffman's strongest
performance is in Straw Dogs, where he
portrays a quiet, civilized mathematician
working on his thesis until something
happens that drives him to the breaking
point in the Sam Peckinpah School of
Violence. The Dustin Hoffman Festival
ends on September 21 with Little Big
Man in which Hoffman ages from a teen
ager to a 1 10-year-bld man who saw how
history was really made in the West.
Attention:
Meeting for all advertising representatives Mon
day, Aug. 23 at 4:30 p.m. in The Daily Tar Heel office.

The second film festival's theme is
Classic Black Musicals from the 20s to the
50s beginning on October 14 and running ,
for four consecutive Thursdays. Unfor
tunately, the festival doesn't feature the
most classic black musical of all
George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. Still,
the Classic Black Musical Festival gives
an interesting perspecive on the develop
ment of black themes in movies from the
cotton-picking family spirituals of Halle
lujah in 1929, when talkies first came out,
to the 1954 entry Carmen Jones, which
adapts Bizet's Carmen to southern black
folklore. Overall, the greatest attraction
of the festival is the treasure of musical
giants with such greats as Louis Arm
strong, Duke Ellington, Lena Home,
Cab Calloway and the Big Man himself
Fats Waller.
On Thursday, September 16 the film
schedule presents a Lecture and Film
Night with creative writing professor
Doris Betts who will discuss the adapta
tion of her short story "The Ugliest Pil
grim" into Violet, which won the Acade
my Award for Best Short Feature. The
film tells the story of a physically disfig
ured girl who journeys to meet a TV evan
gelist so she can be healed.
Growing in popularity each time it is
held, the third UNC Student Film Night
is planned for November 3 and provides a
showcase of films made by students en
rolled at UNC. Are there any low-budget
Spielbergs, Capras, or Brakhages on this
campus? Find out in living 8mm, Super 8
mm or 16 mm and decide if a film is a
blockbuster, a masterpiece or some smart
aleck college kid's demented home movie.
If you are interested in having your film
shown, waich for details in the DTH later
this fall.
A terrifying new dimension in supsense
is offered this Saturday with the 3-D ver
it . .
.
J : , i
sion of Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for
Murder. Guns aim right at you! Hands
reach out of the screen to grab you! Thrill
to the drama as a greedy husband attempts
f to kill his wife so he can inherit her for
tune. It's scary stuff.
Many different topics are explored in "
the Free Flicks this fall. Political struggle
is documented in Andrzej Wajda's Man
of Iron, which allows an insider's view
beyond TV news and behind the Iron
Curtain of the Polish protest for freedom.
Also political in nature are two films by
Costa Gravas, State of Siege and Missing,
which reveal controversial U.S. involve
ment in Latin and South America.
Social realism,' another movement "in
film presented this fall, uses authentic lo
cation's and examines the plight of people
victimized by society. Two Italian found-
ers of social realism, Rossellini and De
Sica, are highlighted with with their early
works Open City and Shoeshine, respec
tively. Also, the transition of the social
realism movement from Italy to the United
States is shown in On the Waterfront with
Marlon Brando. The film won eight Acad
emy Awards. . - V
Almost a forgotten part of movies to
day, many silent films are still as fresh and
exciting as the day they were made even
after 50 years of sound. Three superstars
of the 20s who communicated through
the universal screen language of body ex
pression were Buster Keaton, Rudolph
Valentino and Harold Lloyd i On Wed
nesday, September 22 the first film of a
silent double feature shows Keaton going
to college not to get an education, not to
get a job, but to get a girl in the comedy
College. The other film is the classic Son
of the Sheik, with Rudolph Valentino as a
hynpotic sex symbol who makes today's
beefcake look like pastry. Later in the se
mester, mild-mannered and four-eyed
arts
"It's providing a place for entertainers to get
an audience," Evans said of the Open Mike
Nights. "I think it's one of the; best things
we've ever done." . . . ; -
Admission is $1.50 for members and $2 for
non-members. And there's cold draft beer at
50t a round. Hot Summer Open Mike Night
will move to three Wednesdays in September,
October and November and will change its
name to TNT! Tonight's New Talent after the
September 30 finale. That night will feature
the best of the summer's entertainment.
Another co-sponsored program is the Chil

The Spectator magazine is also co-sponsoring a. ,
film festival with the Art School, the Cinema ;

Since its simple beginnings, the Art School
has flourished. Now it offers an open door to
the arts for just about anyone in the commu
nity. But with expansion come expanded mon
ey problems.
"Money available for the arts is pretty un
stable," Evans said. "In the future, I see us
becoming a much more financially stable orga
nization. It will happen with a greater commu
nity commitment. We have a good one now, but
we need a greater one." . i .

have many alternatives
to current film releases
By LEAH TALLEY

O.K. So you've got to get your weekly'
movie fix. It's been a while since you've sat
in the dark, unconsciously munching pop
corn while being absorbed into the screen.
Ether you have seen all the current
releases or nothing grabs your attention.
The Chapel Hill area offers other film
fare to cure the shakes of a dehydrated
movie bug. Back again for another
nostalgic semester are the Carolina
Classics. Presented as afternoon matinees
at the Carolina Theater, these films pro
vide an alternative to the red-eyed late
movie monger. You know the type the
person who stays up till 5 a.m. to watch an
all-night Katharine Hepburn film festival.
' Two of Hepburn's films will be shown
this fall, Long Day's Journey Into Night
. (Oct. 15-21) and Holiday (Now. 19-25).
- James Dean's classic Rebel Without a
Cause (Aug. 27-Sept. 2) begins the classic
film series. How Green Was My Valley

Nuremburg follow. All About Eve (Oct.

' ner learns how to dance in The King and I

Oct. 22-28 for The Mark of Zorro, then
catch The Sound of Music without com
mercials. An American in Paris (Nov.
5-11), Spellbound (Nov. 12-18) and Citizen
Kane (Nov. 26-Dec. 2) are all worth seeing
one more time.
For those interested in more cerebrally

Modern Artist," Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
