Hot and Bothered: Censorship in the Arts

Saturday, March 24th @ 1:30pm in the Michigan Theater Screening Room

Thank you to Chris Gore (Founder, Film Threat), Eddie Schmidt (Producer/Cowriter, This Film Is Not Yet Rated), Elaine King (Professor of the History of Art & Theory and Museum Studies, Carnegie Mellon University), and Matthew Bernstein (Chair, Dept. of Film Studies, Emory University) for an unprecedented discussion of censorship in the arts.

Censorship is not just an action enacted by government officials or boards of review. Everyone must come to their own decision about what they find acceptable in the arts, morally appropriate for their families, and desirable for their own tastes and interests. This panel will discuss the questions people must ask themselves when trying to determine what they find objectionable, and the importance of thoughtful reactions in such circumstances.
