The Harwood in collaboration with Emerging Cinemas Presents the World Premiere of "Reach for the Stars"

This is a screening of the Oscars  Nominees for Animation

 Total running time approx. 80 minutes (including our “Highly Commended” titles, which are TBD)
Sunday/Dimanche – 10 minutes – English – Patrick Doyon
Every Sunday, it's the same old routine! The train clatters through the village and almost shakes the pictures off the wall. In the church, Dad dreams about his toolbox. And of course later Grandma will get a visit and the animals will meet their fate.
The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore – 15 minutes – No Dialogue – William Joyce and Brandon Oldenburg. Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/illustrator William Joyce and co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a hybrid style of animation that harkens back to silent films and MGM Technicolor musicals. Morris Lessmore is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.
La Luna – 7 minutes – English – Enrico Casaroasa
A fable of a young boy who is coming of age in the most peculiar of circumstances. Tonight is the very first time his Papa and Grandpa are taking him to work. In an old wooden boat they row far out to sea, and with no land in sight, they stop and wait. A big surprise awaits the little boy as he discovers his family's most unusual line of work.
A Morning Stroll – 7 minutes – No Dialogue – Grant Orchard and Sue Goffe
When a New Yorker walks past a chicken on his morning stroll, we're left to wonder which one is the real city slicker.
Wild Life – 13 minutes – English – Amanda Forbis and Wendy Tilby
Calgary, 1909: an Englishman moves to the Canadian frontier, but is singularly unsuited to it. His letters home are much sunnier than the reality. Intertitles compare his fate to that of a comet.

Tickets are $8 for Alliance Members; $10 for Non-Members and are available at the Admission's Desk.

The Harwood Museum of Art and Emerging Cinemas Presents award winning documentary "The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975" A film by Göran Hugo Olsson.

The Black Power Mixtape examines the evolution of the Black Power Movement in the black community and Diaspora from 1967 to 1975. The film combines music, startling 16mm footage (lying undiscovered in the cellar of Swedish Television for 30 years), and contemporary audio interviews from leading African-American artists, activists, musicians and scholars.

At the end of the 1960’s, numerous Swedish journalists came to the US, drawn by stories of
urban unrest and revolution. Filming for close to a decade, they gained access to many of
the leaders of the Black Power movement – Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis,
and Eldridge Cleaver among them – capturing them in intimate moments and remarkably
unguarded interviews. Thirty years later, this lush collection of 16mm film, peppered with
footage of Black Panther activities and B-roll images of black America, was found languishing
in the basement of Swedish Television. Director Göran Olsson and co-producer Danny Glover
bring this mesmerizing footage to light and, integrating audio interviews with prominent
African-American artists and activists who were influenced by the struggle – from Erykah
Badu to Harry Belafonte – craft a dynamic chronicle of the birth and life of a movement.

Tickets $8 Harwood Museum Alliance Members; $10 non-members. Available at the Museum Admissions Desk.  Click here for more information.

Artists: Ai Weiwei, El Anatsui, Catherine Opie

The artists presented within this episode engage in practices that provoke thinking about our changing world, whether social norms or political issues. Irreverent and sublime, these works range from protest pieces to photographic portraits to sculptural forms, and promote a reconsideration of the social dynamics and political processes present in the creation and presentation of an artwork.
