– On
Mon., Oct. 8 from 7 to 9 PM, see the film “Far from Vietnam” (1967), hosted
by The SNF Parkway / Maryland Film Festival and JHU Film and Media
Studies Program, 5 West North Ave., Baltimore 21201. It’s a milestone in
political documentary. One of the most important protest films ever made.
Hosted by David Sterritt, film scholar, author and chair of the National
Society of Film Critics, it is being shown as part of the 1968 on Film series,
presented by the JHU Film and Media Studies Program. Initiated and edited
by Chris Marker, FAR FROM VIETNAM is an epic 1967 collaboration between cinema
greats Jean-Luc Godard, Joris Ivens, William Klein, Claude Lelouch and Alain
Resnais in protest of American military involvement in Vietnam--made, per
Marker's narration, "to affirm, by the exercise of their craft, their
solidarity with the Vietnamese people in struggle against aggression."
A
truly collaborative effort, the film brings together an array of stylistically
disparate contributions, none individually credited, under a unified editorial
vision. The elements span documentary footage shot in North and South Vietnam
and at anti-war demonstrations in the United States; a fictional vignette and a
monologue that dramatize the self-interrogation of European intellectuals;
interviews with Fidel Castro and Anne Morrison, widow of Norman Morrison, the
Quaker pacifist who burned himself alive in front of the Pentagon in 1965; an
historical overview of the conflict; reflections from French journalist Michele
Ray; and a range of repurposed media material. Passionately critical and
self-critical, and as bold in form as it is in rhetoric, FAR FROM VIETNAM is a
milestone in political documentary and in the French cinema.
1968,
a year of global protest and revolution, galvanized audiences for movies that
reflected their changing world. The filmmakers of the era rose to that
challenge, producing remarkable documents of the times that upended cinematic
traditions with bold new forms and innovative content. This series presents
some landmark films from 1968, in company with a few that paved the way and
others that look back with admiration, nostalgia, and regret for what we gained
and what we lost in that transformative year. The 1968 on Film series
will take place every Monday at 7 PM at the SNF Parkway Theatre through Dec.
3. See more upcoming films in the 1968 on Film series at https://mdfilmfest.com/series/1968-film-series-in-conjunction-w-johns-hopkins-university/.

There
has undoubtedly been a breakthrough in the relationship between the United
States and North Korea, and the beginnings of real, if unsteady, progress
toward denuclearization. However, during these early stages of a new diplomacy
toward the peninsula, the risk of war resulting from miscalculation or sudden
degradation of trust is always present.
