2016 Social Cinema Series

Social Cinema is presented in collaboration with the Wisconsin Union Directorate Film Committee. The series is free and open to all.

For more information on each film, click on the links below.

  • Three individual images of people - two men and one woman - have been silhouetted against a black background. The first man has short dark hair and wears a light blue button-down shirt and black suit jacket. His mouth is slightly open, suggesting he is speaking. The second man has short, light brown hair. He wears a blue button-down shirt, blue tie, and black suit jacket. The woman has wavy blond hair that is shoulder length. She wears a red sleeveless blouse and a red beaded necklace. Over her head is an image of the White House at night with a lighted fountain.

    Silenced

  • A young man stares into the camera. His layered dark brown hair covers one of his eyes. He wears a baseball-style t-shirt with red raglan sleeves and a white body. On the front of the t-shirt is a logo of some kind in black, white, and red. His left hand grips at a chain-link fence that stands before him. A black strip of material, perhaps a bag strap, hangs over his left shoulder.

    The Bad Kids

  • A gray and white landscape image of Chicago from the vantage point of Lake Michigan - water in foreground and buildings behind. The silhouetted image of a man has been superimposed on the landscape. The man appears to look out over the landscape, and only one side of his face can be seen. He wears a white and brown marled knit cap, covering his ears. He wears a black jacket with gray sleeves, as well as a black backpack. A suggestion of a dark mustache can be seen.

    The Homestretch

  • A collage of images of people and animals has been superimposed over a graphic radial design of dark blue and red stripes or rays. To the right of the collage, a stylized carrot motif in white appears next to the words "food patriots".

    Food Patriots

  • Four people appear to walk down a street in different directions. Behind them, on a wall, is a high-fashion ad campaign featuring 5 young people - two men and three women. The passersby seem to take no notice of the ad. The figures in the ad wear clothes in light yellows and blues or none at all. All three women have kohl-lined eyes. None of the models smile.
