Winner 2004 American Library Association Notable Video Award
57 minutes
Screening Courtesy of California Newsreel <www.newsreel.org>
Contact: Rachel Quinn <rq@newsreel.org>"Strange Fruit is the first documentary exploring the history and legacy of the Billie Holiday classic. This history of the song's evolution tells a dramatic story of America's radical past using one of the most influential protest songs ever written as its epicenter. The saga brings viewers face-to-face with the terror of lynching even as it spotlights the courage and heroism of those who fought for racial justice when to do so was to risk ostracism and livelihood if white-and death if Black. It examines the history of lynching, and the interplay of race, labor and the left, and popular culture as forces that would give rise to the Civil Rights Movement" (California Newsreel).
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner will be screened on Thursday at 2:30 pm (#264) and Friday at 6:15 pm (399D). Immediately following Friday's screening, a plenary session will debate this pivotal film within the history of both American race relations and the mass media perception of them.

Buoyant
A short film by Julie Wyman. Fat Floats. The stories of the Padded Lilies, a troupe of fat synchronized swimmers, Archimedes, the Greek mathematician obsessed with floating bodies, and the inventor of the "Drystroke Swimulator" interweave and leave us with the exuberant possibility of a fat body that literally and culturally rises, like cream, to the top.I Wonder What You Remember of September
A short film by Cecilia Maria Cornejo. A personal response to the events that took place in New York on September 11, 2001. Informed and complicated by Cornejo being a Chilean citizen who lives in the U.S.A., this meditative piece is largely shaped around the filmmaker's parents' recollections of the Chilean coup - on September 11, 1973. This lyrical and poignant film points directly to the ways personal and collective histories intersect and interact, and particularly to how trauma is lived, supposedly erased, and passed on from one generation to the next.Response and discussion: Pat Tyrer, West Texas A&M University

The Film Area Chairs invite you to a reception where you can meet other film area participants, further discuss presentations and panels you've seen, and network with upcoming and established scholars in the field.
The roster of photographers who have done major work in New Mexico provides a microcosm of the history of photography: John Hillers, Edward S. Curtis, Laura Gilpin, Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, and contemporary artists such as Miguel Gandert, Alex Harris, Joan Myers, and Patrick Nagatani. In this slide lecture, Elrick brings the image-makers to life, discussing historical issues that surrounded their lives and the work they produced about New Mexico's ancient civilizations and living tribes, the architecture of Spanish America, and the light of the Southwestern landscape.
Krista Elrick has been exhibiting her photographs around the country for twenty years. Her current work explores the history of family-owned general stores in New Mexico. She teaches photographic history and studio courses at College of Santa Fe and at Santa Fe Community College.
This program developed in part for the New Mexico Humanities Council Series on New Mexico History and Cultures. Support your local Humanities Council.

Come join us for a discussion about the state of Children's and Young Adult literature and culture - what issues do we need to study, what topics might be suggested for next year's conference, what favorite books or children's/YA cultural trends and traditions would you like to share? We can make this a show & tell session, too; bring your favorite books to share with us! Every year, this round table session turns into an exciting discussion about all things dealing with children's and young adult literature and popular culture. The session is open to everyone attending the conference - no "scholarly" credentials required. If you have kids in tow, bring them along; we'd love to hear from the kids what we should be focusing on in their "culture." I would be especially interested in hearing from any young adults along with their parents at the conference about their cultural issues - and a chance to collect some impromptu, highly unscientific, but wonderfully anecdotal research!

Strange Fruit (2002)
Directed by Joel Katz
Winner 2004 American Library Association Notable Video Award
(57 minutes)
Screening Courtesy of California Newsreel <www.newsreel.org>
Contact: Rachel Quinn <rq@newsreel.org>"Strange Fruit is the first documentary exploring the history and legacy of the Billie Holiday classic. This history of the song's evolution tells a dramatic story of America's radical past using one of the most influential protest songs ever written as its epicenter. The saga brings viewers face-to-face with the terror of lynching even as it spotlights the courage and heroism of those who fought for racial justice when to do so was to risk ostracism and livelihood if white-and death if Black. It examines the history of lynching, and the interplay of race, labor and the left, and popular culture as forces that would give rise to the Civil Rights Movement" (California Newsreel).
Director: Stanley Kramer
108 minutes
Studio: Columbia/Tri-Star Studios
Glenn Harris, University of North Carolina at Wilmington
Robert Brent Toplin, University of North Carolina at WilmingtonThis session features a debate about a pivotal film in the history of both American race relations and the mass media perception of them. Two scholars disagree about the significance and will participate in a debate-followed by responses from the audience. The film will be screened Thursday at 2:30 pm and Friday's Night Flicks with a discussion session to follow that night.
