The Maribor Uprisings
October 5, 2017, 7:00 PM
FreeIn case you missed it at this year’s Maine International Film Festival or just want to see it again, Associate Professor of Global Studies Maple Razsa and Milton Guillén ’15 will screen The Maribor Uprisings: A Live Participatory Film, which started as Guillén’s honors project in anthropology and grew into a major collaboration with Razsa. Edited with the award-winning documentary filmmaker Mary Lampson (Harlan County, USA; This Changes Everything), Uprisings tells the story of the dramatic protests that brought down Maribor’s mayor before spreading across Slovenia and toppling the national government. Drawing on footage shot by dozens of protesters, the film positions viewers in the midst of the uprising and demands that they decide collectively in the theater how they participate — and how the film will unfold.
Sponsored by the Center for the Arts and Humanities.
Location: Ostrove Auditorium, Diamond Building, Colby College, Mayflower Hill Drive, Waterville.
