TOMORROW (1972) ? 103 minutes (Rated PG ? B&W) Saturday, January 30, 7:00 p.m. Main Theatre, ACE Exhibition Complex, UNCSA Campus

Directed by Joseph Anthony. With Robert Duvall, Olga Bellin, Sudie Bond, Richard McConnell, Peter Masterson, William Hawley, James Franks, Johnny Mask, Effie Green and Ken Lindley.

In the backwoods of Mississippi, a lonely farmer (Duvall) agrees to look after a pregnant woman (Bellin) who was abandoned by the father of her child. Tomorrow is based on the short story of the same name by Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner. It was first published in the ?Saturday Evening Post? in 1940 and later reappeared in the writer?s short story collection Knight?s Gambit. Though it?s considered one of Faulkner?s lesser-known stories, it has been dramatized in three different mediums ? each time by the same writer, celebrated playwright Horton Foote. In 1960, he was hired to adapt the story into a teleplay for an episode of ?Playhouse 90? for director Robert Mulligan, who would later direct To Kill a Mockingbird (which featured an Academy Award-winning screenplay by Foote). Eight years later, Foote rewrote it as an off-Broadway play starring Duvall and Bellin, and, finally, as the screenplay for this version of the film. Many critics believe this is the definitive adaptation of any of Faulkner?s work, and Duvall has cited it as his personal favorite of all the films he?s done. This film is part of a series of public screenings sponsored by the Kenan Institute for the Arts.

KING: A FILMED RECORD?MONTGOMERY TO MEMPHIS (1970)

Sunday, January 17, 7:00 p.m. Main Theatre, ACE Exhibition Complex, UNCSA campus.

Directed by Sidney Lumet and Joseph L. Mankiewicz. With Martin Luther King, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Ruby Dee, James Earl Jones, Clarence Williams III, Burt Lancaster, Charlton Heston, Harry Belafonte, Paul Winfield, Marlon Brando and Sidney Poitier.

Incorporating newsreel and other period footage, this critically-acclaimed documentary serves as a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King. Beginning with the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955, when King was 27 years old, the film traces the life of the American Civil Rights icon ? confrontations in Birmingham, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963, the voter-registration marches in Selma, the Chicago housing protests ? ending shortly after his assassination in 1968. Interspersed throughout are dramatic readings by friends and admirers.

King: A Filmed Record originally received a one-night-only screening in about 600 theaters across the country in March of 1970 (with all proceeds being donated to the Dr. Martin Luther King Special Fund), and it was later shortened to 90 minutes for television broadcasts and video releases. Though the full-length documentary has recently been made available on DVD in a special commemorative edition, we will be screening an extremely rare 35mm print archival print, which has essentially been out of public circulation since that one-time event. The National Film Preservation Board added the film to the National Film Registry in 1999. This film is part of a series of public screenings sponsored by the Kenan Institute for the Arts.
