SUMMARY:A&E IndieFilms Speakeasy: Documenting Distress: A Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Documenting Distress: A Discussion\nWednesday\, August 12 | 10:30 AM (EST) | FREE\nREGISTER TODAY \nThroughout history\, documentary film has been used to bring to light the abuses that human beings can inflict upon one another\, whether during war\, genocide\, imprisonment\, or via policies that force people into desperate conditions\, such as exile\, migration and/or starvation. Such work can and has brought public awareness to circumstances that bring about changes in laws\, policing\, public opinion\, and inspire cultural norms to shift. How do documentary filmmakers walk the fine line of exposing abuse and not exploiting victims? What is appropriate to portray and what crosses the line? This group of esteemed Full Frame colleagues discuss their work\, the work of the field\, and how today’s image-heavy culture impacts the work of documentarians. \nModerator:\nAdama Delphine Fawundu \nPanelists:\nMarco Williams\nRory Kennedy\nLaurens Grant

SUMMARY:American Factory
DESCRIPTION:American Factory (115 min)\nDirected by Steven Bognar\, Julia Reichert\nJanuary 28\, 2020\nFilm starts at 7:30 pm\, Doors open at 7:00 pm\nFilm Website\nFilm Trailer \n  \nIn 2008 General Motors closed its assembly plant in Dayton\, Ohio. More than 2\,500 workers lost their jobs. Six years later\, Fuyao\, a Chinese company manufacturing automobile glass\, purchased the plant. The announcement of new owners sparked hope for many residents who had struggled to find jobs after GM shuttered. As Fuyao moved into the U.S. market\, its new factory would employ Chinese and American workers. \nWith astounding access\, Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert document the opening of the factory and the years that follow as people from profoundly different cultures work alongside each other. Stunning cinematography moves us through the experiences of workers on the factory floor\, supervisors\, senior management\, and even the Fuyao chairman\, Chinese billionaire entrepreneur Cao Dewang\, revealing the cultural collision and its consequences. American Factory deftly traverses conflicting perspectives and dramatically unfolding events to illuminate the tensions of globalized industrialization. By weaving multiple personal narratives\, the film highlights ways that people can come together and the structures that can keep them apart\, making space to consider the gravity of workers’ relationships to their livelihoods\, and to one another. \n  \nThis event is free\, but RSVPs are recommended. Screenings can reach capacity and RSVPs will prioritize admittance.

This event is FREE and open to the public. \n  \nABOUT THE FILM \n43-year-old Maleonn is one of China’s most influential conceptual artists today. His father\, Ma Ke\, was the artistic director of the Shanghai Chinese Opera Theater. After being humiliated and forbidden from working for a decade during the Cultural Revolution\, Ma Ke immersed himself in theater. The mysterious excitement of Ma Ke’s creative world inspired the young Maleonn\, but his father’s absences stoked early feelings of resentment. \nWhen Ma Ke is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s\, Maleonn pours everything into an ambitious new theater project: “Papa’s Time Machine\,” a visually stunning time-travel adventure told with human-sized puppets. At the play’s heart are autobiographical scenes inspired by Maleonn’s memories with his father. He hopes this will bring the them together artistically and personally.  \nWith enthusiasm both domestically and from abroad\, the play shows signs of a promising future. But Ma Ke’s condition deteriorates. Maleonn is torn between the original goal to honor his father and the pressure towards commercial success. Ma Ke struggles to contribute to the play\, and barely recognizes the play when it is completed.  \nFacing his father’s painful decline\, Maleonn becomes more aware of life’s complexities. There are no effortless masterpieces or simple solutions. And there’s no traveling back in time to retrieve what has been lost. There is however\, the relationship that has developed with co-director Tianyi. He proposes to her\, ready to become a partner and a father\, and to carry on forward with a new outlook on his art and life. \n  \nABOUT THE FILMMAKERS \nYang SUN is a documentary director and cameraman based in Beijing. He was on staff at China’s Central Newsreel and Documentary Film Studio\, making documentaries for broadcasters including CCTV\, Youku and the Travel Channel. He has directed several short and mid-length documentaries\, including THE SECOND ALBUM\, AKEN\, BACKPACKERS FOR 10 YEARS\, AFTER HE ROSE TO FAME\, as well as the ten-part series TAKE ME TO TRAVEL. He worked as a director of photography on A CENTURY WITH NANJING\, CENTURY MASTER\, and SOUTH OF THE OCEAN. Sun Yang holds a Master’s degree from the School of Television and Film Art at the Communication University of China. OUR TIME MACHINE will be his first feature-length documentary. \nS. Leo Chiang is a Taiwanese-American filmmaker based in San Francisco and Taipei. His documentary\, MR. CAO GOES TO WASHINGTON\, won the Inspiration Award at the 2012 Full Frame Documentary Festival.

SUMMARY:Kifaru
DESCRIPTION:Kifaru (81 min)\nDirected by David Hambridge\nOctober 24\, 2019\nFilm starts at 7:00 pm\, Doors open at 6:30 pm. \nQ&A following the film featuring Andrew Harrison Brown (producer). \nFilm Website | Film Trailer | About Common Ground \nUnable to roam freely because of the rampant poaching that has reduced their subspecies from thousands\, Sudan\, the world’s only remaining male northern white rhino\, his daughter Najin\, and his granddaughter Fatu are under armed guard 24/7. Even at the brink of extinction\, hope remains\, thanks to three incredible caretakers and a host of others bent on both preventing and recovering loss. In this visually—and emotionally—beautiful film\, director David Hambridge gives witness to the humane and loving caretaking of Jacob\, James\, and JoJo\, rangers at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. Jacob runs and plays with Najin and Fatu. JoJo sits vigil when Sudan begins to ail. And through the gentle ministrations of a mud bath and the faint singing and words of comfort James provides Sudan\, we see hope in the collective power of community\, care\, and understanding. \nFree RSVPs are now available and can be made via Eventbrite. RSVPs are recommended but are not required – screenings can reach capacity and RSVPs will prioritize admittance. \n\n  \n  \n  \nIn partnership with Full Frame\, the Cleveland County Arts Council\, and Gardner-Webb University Life of the Scholar Program\, the Common Ground project is a traveling program that facilitates free documentary screenings and discussions in small towns throughout North Carolina. More about Common Ground.

Film starts at 7:00 pm.  \n  \n“A thoughtful\, elegantly hypnotic exploration of ownership\, access\, and moral responsibility. A multi-layered and thought-provoking work of art.”\n—Allan Hunter\, Screen International \n  \nKnown as “the artist among architects\,” Luis Barragán is among the world’s most celebrated architects of the 20th century.

SUMMARY:Always in Season
DESCRIPTION:Always in Season (89 minutes)\nDirected by Jacqueline Olive\nAugust 21\, 2019\nAlamo Drafthouse Cinema (Raleigh\, NC)\nFilm Website\nDoors open at 6:00 pm. Film starts at 6:30 pm. (NEW TIME) \n  \n“A nuanced\, layered reminder of how far we still have to go to correct the injustices of this country’s past and present.”\n– Brian Tallerico\, RogerEbert.com \n  \n“Don’t be calm\, be concerned\,” rages Reverend William J. Barber II at a rally\, voicing the feelings of a community and a grieving mother. Teenager Lennon Lacy was found hanging from a swing set in Bladenboro\, North Carolina\, in 2014. The circumstances of his death echo the long horror of lynching in America\, especially in the South\, and intersect with the stories of two other communities seeking justice and reconciliation. In Monroe\, Georgia\, a diverse group of reenactors promotes healing by annually performing the 1946 quadruple lynching of two African American couples. Through narrated invitations to public lynchings that play over gruesome archival images\, the film additionally explores the 1934 murder of Claude Neal and others. These historical accounts construct the backbone of Always in Season’s vital examination of Lennon’s recent death. A call for justice by his family members leads to a federal investigation. The legacy of racial hatred and the practices of the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina and Georgia are delineated as the film traces the night of Lennon’s death\, how we remember him and the past\, and how we must remain vigilant. \n  \nThis event is free\, but RSVPs are recommended. Screenings can reach capacity and RSVPs will prioritize admittance. \nFirst Team + Spotlight Member RSVP – Begins August 18\, 2019 at 9 am (promotional code required)\nGeneral Public RSVP – Begins August 20\, 2019 at 9 am \n \n \n \n \nThis event is part of the Full Frame Road Show Series and is presented by American Tobacco Campus and Capitol Broadcasting Company\, Inc.

SUMMARY:The Raft
DESCRIPTION:The Raft (97 minutes)\nDirected by Marcus Lindeen\nAugust 15\, 2019\nFull Frame Theater (Durham\, NC)\nFilm Website\nDoors open at 6:30 pm. Film starts at 7:00 pm.  \n  \n”The surprisingly short leap from radical academic study to lurid exploitation is navigated with wit\, sensitivity and rueful social awareness in Swedish director Marcus Lindeen’s gripping debut feature The Raft.”\n– Guy Lodge\, Variety \n  \nIn 1973 six women and five men crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a small wooden raft as part of an exploratory mission to promote world peace. The brainchild of Mexican anthropologist Santiago Genovés\, the experiment featured a curated cross-section of nationalities\, religions\, and backgrounds\, designed to reflect the world in microcosm. The participants did not know that their conditions were engineered to foment disagreement\, lust\, and even violence. Their limited privacy and restricted movement were compounded by Genovés’s questionnaires and constant monitoring\, as he logged their every annoyance and attraction as scientific data. Eventually panic ensued when behaviors did not adhere to the master plan and decisions were made to steer the boat into a direct path of danger. In Marcus Lindeen’s film the surviving members gather on board a faithful replica of the original vessel to recall the lessons learned over their 101 harrowing days at sea. Their stories\, backed by a trove of archival footage and writings\, position the experiment as a thrilling precursor to today’s reality television shows\, in which manufactured environments often produce unforeseen results. \n  \nThis event is free\, but RSVPs are recommended.

SUMMARY:Midnight Family
DESCRIPTION:Midnight Family (81 minutes)\nDirected by Luke Lorentzen\nAugust 6\, 2019\nThe Cary Theater (Cary\, NC)\nFilm Website\nDoors open at 6:30 pm. Film starts at 7:00 pm.  \n  \n“A deft mix of big-picture doc-making and intimate moments… not to mention a wild—and remarkably eye-opening—ride.”\n– David Fear\, Rolling Stone \n  \nIn Mexico City the Ochoas run a family-owned ambulance service\, one of many private paramedic outfits addressing the massive civic void left when there are just 45 municipal ambulances serving a population that tops 9 million. Living in circumstances only slightly less dire than those of the victims they treat and transport\, the Ochoa family nightly faces the spectrums of urgency and boredom\, honor and corruption\, life and death—all with admirable resolve. Teenage Juan captivates as he helms the family’s ambulance\, with his father\, uncle\, and younger brother rounding out the band of nocturnal rescuers who careen through Mexico City’s neon-noir streets evading dense traffic\, competing paramedics\, and dubious police. In director Luke Lorentzen’s bold and balletic vérité treatment\, action\, drama\, humor\, and pathos fill the screen while an ominous microcosm of health care and humanity plays out in stark relief. A suspenseful and vivid tale of subsistence\, Midnight Family refers not only to the Ochoas but to the enduring community of\, and connections among\, those living and dying in the dark. \n  \nThis event is free\, but RSVPs are recommended.

SUMMARY:Jay Myself
DESCRIPTION:Jay Myself (78 minutes)\nDirected by Stephen Wilkes\nAugust 1\, 2019\nFull Frame Theater (Durham\, NC)\nFilm Website\nDoors open at 6:30 pm. Film starts at 7:00 pm.  \n  \n“Jay Myself acts as an excellent last hurrah\, a requiem if you will\, for a little piece of NYC’s soul.” \n– Michael Caputo\, Shuffle Online \n  \nEven if you don’t know the name Jay Maisel\, you know his photographs. Over a lengthy career\, his work has ranged from iconic images of jazz musicians\, to uncredited commercial work\, to unparalleled color street photography from around the world. He has long been recognized and respected by his peers both as an artist and as one who has been successful in the business of photography. But perhaps his most astonishing achievement was The Bank. In 1966 Maisel purchased a six-story building at 190 Bowery in Manhattan\, and for nearly 50 years he filled all 72 rooms of it with his work and his life. He collected objects for their intrinsic values of design in much the same way he created photographs by “collecting” values of light\, shade\, form\, and color. On the eve of the gargantuan task of packing up and moving out\, Maisel reflects on his life\, his career\, and the nature of collecting. \n  \nThis event is free\, but RSVPs are recommended.

SUMMARY:Sammy Davis\, Jr.: I've Gotta Be Me
DESCRIPTION:Sammy Davis\, Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me (100 minutes)\nDirected by Sam Pollard \n  \nNovember 8\, 2018\nHayti Heritage Center (Durham\, NC)\nFilm starts at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7:00 pm. \nSammy Davis\, Jr. had the kind of career that was indisputably legendary\, so vast and multi-faceted that it was dizzying in its scope and scale. And yet\, his life was complex\, complicated\, and contradictory. Davis strove to achieve the American Dream in a time of racial prejudice and shifting political territory. He was the veteran of increasingly outdated show business traditions trying to stay relevant; he frequently found himself bracketed by the bigotry of white America and the distaste of black America; he was the most public black figure to embrace Judaism\, thereby yoking his identity to another persecuted minority. \nFeaturing new interviews with such luminaries as Billy Crystal\, Norman Lear\, Jerry Lewis\, Whoopi Goldberg\, and Kim Novak\, with never-before-seen photographs from Davis’s vast personal collection and excerpts from his electric performances in television\, film\, and concert\, Sammy Davis\, Jr.: I’ve Gotta Be Me explores the life and art of a uniquely gifted entertainer whose trajectory blazed across the major flashpoints of American society from the Depression through the 1980s. \nhttps://www.menemshafilms.com/sammy-davis-jr   \n  \nFree RSVPs can be made via Eventbrite.

DESCRIPTION:Won’t You Be My Neighbor?\nDirected by Morgan Neville \nOctober 25\, 2018\nJoy Performance Center (Kings Mountain\, NC)\n7:00 pm (doors at 6:30 pm) \n  \nFred Rogers transformed children’s television with Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. Rogers was an ordained Presbyterian minister who believed that love was the pathway to personal growth and development. With his groundbreaking show\, he provided a space for intimate and straightforward exchange. In his gentle discussions with young guests\, listening became a revolutionary act; he acknowledged the fears\, worries\, and hardships of growing up. Through a cast of puppets\, he also managed to broach topics like disability and race\, offering families the tools to speak frankly about the world around them. Morgan Neville’s stunning film reveals the origins of the show\, the ways it connected to current events\, and its significant impact on the lives of children\, and adults\, across the country. Interviews with family\, friends\, and colleagues reveal that Rogers was indeed a visionary\, but he was also human\, and he faced his own share of shortcomings and self-doubt. In his life\, Rogers contributed singular authentic exchange both on and off the air.  \nhttp://www.focusfeatures.com/wont-you-be-my-neighbor/ \n  \nFree RSVPs are now available and can be made via Eventbrite.

Doors open at 7:00 pm. \nIn 2013\, in Shelby County v. Holder\, the Supreme Court invalidates the part of the 1965 Voting Rights Act requiring certain states to submit changes in voting laws to the Justice Department for approval. Almost immediately\, certain states take voter suppression measures such as enacting voter ID laws\, redrawing district boundaries\, and repealing same-day registration. Three months before the 2016 election\, a group of volunteers across the country mobilizes to work on voter protection—to observe elections and to assure that all those who wish to vote are legally allowed to do so. Laverne Berry\, Steven Miller\, and Claire Wright are assigned to North Carolina. Five days before Election Day\, they arrive in Fayetteville to familiarize themselves with the local situation. On Election Day itself\, they station themselves at the polls to answer questions. Through their work on this one day\, we see just what’s involved in protecting the cornerstone democratic principle of “one person\, one vote.” \nhttp://www.capturingtheflag.com \n  \nFree RSVPs can be made via Eventbrite.

Doors open at 7:00 pm. \nThe whiteboard in a Baltimore classroom reads “I’m lost\,” one of many English-language basics for newly arrived refugees. It’s an example of This Is Home’s visual approach to the myriad details of the refugee experience. Through brilliant observational filmmaking\, This Is Home tells the story of four Syrian families on the path to self-sufficiency and eventual success in the United States. Refugee integration assistance\, overseen by State Department–contracted resettlement agencies\, provides an apartment and other services for only eight months—after that\, families are expected to manage independently. Refugee breadwinners must accept the first job they are offered\, learn English\, and figure out transportation\, the supermarket\, school\, and cultural norms. The inherent optimism and capability of the refugees undergird the film’s revelatory narrative\, with an ensemble cast highlighting the drama and humor of the newcomers’ interactions at home and with helpers\, teachers\, and friends. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/thisishomedoc/ \n  \nFree RSVPs can be made via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Inventing Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:Inventing Tomorrow (104 minutes)\nDirected by Laura Nix \nAugust 9\, 2018\nThe Cary Theater (Cary\, NC)\nFilm starts at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7:00 pm. \nThe world’s largest high school science competition takes place in Los Angeles. Each year\, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair invites some 1\,800 finalists who come together to compete but also to connect with their peers from around the globe. This inspiring film follows six participants from Indonesia\, India\, Mexico\, and Hawaii. Spending time with them at home before the competition\, it’s clear that their research is personal. Each competitor’s project revolves around environmental issues in their community\, with challenges like foaming toxic lakes and arsenic contamination. These are significant and complicated problems to solve\, but the students’ innovative inventions may just hold the answers.

SUMMARY:Rodents of Unusual Size
DESCRIPTION:Rodents of Unusual Size (71 minutes)\nDirected by Quinn Costello\, Chris Metzler\, Jeff Springer \nJune 28\, 2018\nAlamo Drafthouse Cinema (Raleigh\, NC)\nFilm starts at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7:00 pm. \nWhen the Great Depression hit Louisiana hard\, Tabasco heir Edward McIlhenny decided to inject the stagnant economy with a surefire moneymaker: importing nutria from Argentina to bolster the local fur trade. Prolific breeders\, these 20-pound rodents with gigantic orange teeth quickly ate their way across the bayou\, turning Louisiana’s wetlands into a wasteland. As the fur trade bottomed out\, trappers stopped keeping nutrias’ numbers down and the rate of land loss exploded. Still reeling from a series of devastating hurricanes\, Louisianans have rallied to address these rodents running amuck through their marsh and help abate the erosion. Further incentivized by a five-dollar bounty for every nutria tail collected\, fishermen and other locals are now on the hunt\, having found a welcome source of income in the off-season. Evil invasive species\, cuddly pet\, or highly sustainable local resource? Directors Quinn Costello\, Chris Metzler\, and Jeff Springer let you decide. Whichever way you fall\, this quirky environmental doc delivers a highly engaging tale. \nhttp://www.rodentsofunusualsize.tv \n  \nFree RSVPs can be made via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Winter Series – Strong Island
DESCRIPTION:Strong Island\nDirected by Yance Ford\nIn 1992 filmmaker Yance Ford’s older brother William was fatally shot during an argument with an auto mechanic. When the white assailant goes unindicted for the killing of the young black Long Island schoolteacher\, the Ford family\, like an appalling number of families in the years that follow\, faces life-altering grief and incomprehensible outrage. A formally inventive investigation and memoir\, the film unearths histories both personal and procedural and confronts perception and memory with Proustian and Varda-esque tact. Succumbing\, but decidedly not surrendering\, to injustice\, Ford undertakes a soulful and cinematic inquisition\, fashioning interviews\, family photos\, and soliloquy into an innovative form of storytelling. By turns assertive and intimate\, Strong Island is a deeply affecting passage\, taking viewers across the variegated shades of gray between black and white. \nThis event is free\, but we recommend reserving free tickets via Eventbrite. The Eventbrite page will open to the public at 9:00 am on February 1.\n\nRSVP INFO\nFirst Team Members*: Monday\, 1/29 at 9:00 am – Thursday\, 2/1 at 8:00 am\nSpotlight Members*: Wednesday\, 1/31 at 9:00 am – Thursday\, 2/1 at 8:00 am\nGeneral Public: Thursday\, 2/1 at 9:00 am \n* NOTE: A limited number of RSVPs are available for First Team and Spotlight members.

SUMMARY:Winter Series – Abacus: Small Enough to Jail
DESCRIPTION:Abacus: Small Enough to Jail\nDirected by Steve James\nIn the 1980s\, Thomas Sung was a busy lawyer in New York City\, but he saw a need. There was no bank serving the Chinese immigrant community. Motivated to help\, Sung founded Abacus Federal Savings Bank in Manhattan’s Chinatown. In the decades that followed\, his daughters joined him at the family company\, and the business grew. And then\, in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis\, Abacus was the only U.S. bank accused of mortgage fraud. This stunning film chronicles the Sungs’ legal battle as they fight to defend their business and their family name. Through interviews with people with vastly different points of view—journalists covering the trial\, defense lawyers\, and the DA’s office—director Steve James provides a fully realized portrait of the complicated realities of the case. But the heart of the film is in its intimate access to the Sung family. With humor and energy\, Abacus: Small Enough to Jail tracks the many twists and turns of the case\, while introducing us to a family that shares an unforgettable bond. \nThis event is free\, but we recommend reserving free tickets via Eventbrite. The Eventbrite page will open to the public at 9:00 am on January 24.\n\nRSVP INFO\nFirst Team Members*:  Sunday\, 1/21 at 9:00 am – Wednesday\, 1/24 at 8:00 am\nSpotlight Members*:  Tuesday\, 1/23 at 9:00 am – Wednesday\, 1/24 at 8:00 am\nGeneral Public: Wednesday\, 1/24 at 9:00 am \n* NOTE: A limited number of RSVPs are available for First Team and Spotlight members.

SUMMARY:Annual Youth Screening – Brooklyn Castle
DESCRIPTION:Brooklyn Castle  (102 minutes)\nDirected by Katie Dellamaggiore \nNovember 28\, 2017\nThe Carolina Theatre\nFilm starts at 11:00 am\, Doors open at 10:30 am\nFree for Durham Public School teachers and students. Please contact education@fullframefest.org for more information.\n\nBrooklyn Castle tells the compelling stories of five members of the chess team at junior high school I.S. 318 in Brooklyn\, that has won more national championships than any other in the country. The film follows the challenges these kids face in their personal lives as well as on the chessboard\, and is as much about the sting of their losses as it is about the anticipation of their victories. In following these students\, the film illustrates that the “extra” in extracurricular activities are not “extra”—they are essential. Brooklyn Castle shows how these kids’ dedication to chess magnifies their belief in what is possible for their lives. After all\, if they can master the world’s most difficult game\, what can’t they do? \nFull Frame and PBS’s POV are partnering to provide toolkits for teachers. Please see POV’s website for more information.
