Director’s Dialogue on Art and Social Change Featuring Cincinnati Goddamn Director’s Dialogue on Art and Social Change This recurring event supports the crucial role of contemporary arts in sparking meaningful dialogue about contemporary issues. Wed, Sep 2, 2015 7 PM Advancing the role of the arts in sparking meaningful dialogue about contemporary issues, this fall’s Director’s Dialogue features the powerful and timely documentary Cincinnati Goddamn, a new work supported by our Film/Video Studio Program. Told through news reports, first-person accounts, and cinema verité footage, the film captures the personal trauma and civic unrest caused by the deaths of 15 African American men at the hands of Cincinnati police from 1995 to 2001 and traces both the protests and reform efforts that followed. After tonight’s screening join us for a compelling panel discussion with the film’s codirectors, April Martin and Paul Hill, an editor at the center’s Film/Video Studio; Cincinnati native, businesswoman, and community activist Iris Roley; and Rhonda Y. Williams, professor of history and founder and director of the Social Justice Institute at Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University. The panel is moderated by Sharon L. Davies, Ohio State’s Vice Provost for Diversity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer. Director’s Dialogues are made possible in part by a lead endowment gift from an anonymous donor.
