SUMMARY:Exit Zero: Documentary Filmmaking\, Historical Memory\, and Personal Voice
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores the making of Exit Zero\, an in-progress documentary film about deindustrialization\, community\, class\, and family in a former steel mill region in southeast Chicago. It examines questions of historical memory\, the use of personal voice\, and the long-standing relationship between anthropology and documentary filmmaking. The film utilizes material from multiple sources\, including cinéma vérité footage shot over the course of a decade\, interviews\, and home movies made by steel mill area residents between the 1930s and 1980s. The talk raises broader questions about the shifting nature of anthropological engagement with media-making and documentary film in particular. Clips from the work-in-progress will be shown. \nChris Boebel is a documentary and narrative filmmaker. He is the writer/director of a number of award-winning short fiction films\, the independent feature film Red Betsy\, and is co-director of the documentary Containment: Life After Three Mile Island. He currently works as a producer of films about science and engineering at MIT with AMPS/MIT Libraries. \nChristine Walley is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at MIT. In conjunction with Chris Boebel\, she is making Exit Zero. The film serves as a companion to an in-progress book entitled\, The Struggle for Existence from the Cradle to the Grave.
