The 2024 Roger Ebert Lecture and Screening will be held October 17-18 in the Knight Auditorium of Spurlock Museum.
Join us for "Kartemquin’s Labor Films: Stories of Working in America," which will screen The Last Pullman Car (1983, 56 minutes, directed by Jerry Blumenthal and Gordon Quinn, written by Jerry Blumenthal, Greg LeRoy, Gordon Quinn, and Jenny Rohrer) and scenes from Hard Earned, a six-part Al Jazeera series about living on low-wage work in America (40 minutes). A brief Q&A will follow.
Angela Aguayo, associate professor of media and cinema studies, will provide an introduction. Roger Ebert Lecture presenter Patricia Aufderheide—along with Kartemquin Films founding member Gordon Quinn—will share some background about the screenings.
Presented by the Roger Ebert Center for Film Studies.
