[Marxism] Frank Little - An Injury to One - free screening

[Dbachmozart@xxxxxxx]

I hope all of you in the NYC area can see this and the remainder of those
interested can get it shown in their respective areas. This is one way to get
people involved in their own history.

Free Screening of AN INJURY TO ONE. Acclaimed Documentary Screens in New
York City Sunday, March 26, 8 PM.

"I was genuinely knocked out! The film manages to be both startlingly
beautiful and distressing at the same time... [with] plaintive and elegiac

cinematography."
John Gianvito, Harvard Film Archives

"An astonishing document: part art and part speculative inquiry, buzzing
with ambition and dedication. Wields avant-garde graphics and archival
ephemera like a lasso, and his shots of modern-day Butte are allusive
still-lifes that defy time and place. Stirring, must- see stuff!"
Austin Chronicle

"The most exciting documentary of the season. Passionate, persuasive, and

beautifully designed."
The New York Sun

AN INJURY TO ONE
A Film by Travis Wilkerson (53 minutes/color-b&w/2002)

This award-winning film by Travis Wilkerson provides an absolutely
compelling glimpse of a particularly volatile moment in American history:

the rise and fall of Butte, Montana. Specifically, it chronicles the
mysterious death of Wobbly organizer Frank Little, a story whose grisly
details have taken on a legendary status.

Lyrics to traditional mining songs are accompanied by music from William
Oldham (aka Bonnie Prince Billy), Jim O'Rourke, and the band Low,
producing
an appropriately moody, effulgent, and strangely out-of- time soundtrack.

Archival footage mixes with deftly deployed intertitles, resulting in a
unique film/video hybrid that combines beautiful music, painterly images,

incisive writing, and a bold graphic sensibility to produce an articulate

example of the aesthetic and political possibilities offered by filmmaking

in the digital age.

Little's murder provides AN INJURY TO ONE with a taut narrative, but the
story is also bound with the history of the American left, McCarthyism,
the
destruction of the environment, and even the birth of the detective novel.

Former Pinkerton detective Dashiell Hammett was rumored to have been
involved in the murder, and later depicted it in Red Harvest.
