A Year in Film


In his book Pictures at a Revolution, writer Mark Harris looks at the four Oscar nominees for Best Picture in 1967 to discuss the changes occurring throughout the country. The new series at Jacob Burns shows those ground-breaking films—"The Graduate," "In The Heat of the Night," "Guess Whose Coming to Dinner," and "Bonnie and Clyde"—and hosts Mr. Harris and New York Times film critic Janet Maslin in two discussions about the movies and their cultural meaning. The series runs from Wednesday through April 29. Check the website for details on showings and interviews. Jacob Burns Film Center
