 The Weather Underground USA 2003 35mm 93 Minutes In English Directors: Sam Green, Bill Siegel Producers: Carrie Lozano, Sam Green, Bill Siegel, Marc Smolowitz Narrated by Lili Taylor With Bernardine Dohrn, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, David Gilbert Clear Glasses USA 2008 4 Minutes Digital Projection In English Director: San Green With Mark Rudd Mark Rudd, political activist, math professor and author of the new autobiography Underground, will introduce Oscar nominee The Weather Underground, in which he is a principal figure, and a new short, Clear Glasses, by The Weather Underground co-director Sam Green, in which he is the central figure. In the ‘60s, Rudd embodied student protest as one of the leaders of the famous student rebellion at Columbia University, and in the ‘70s, was a fugitive from the law as a member of the Weathermen and Weather Underground, who sought to overthrow the government of the U.S. The Weather Underground is a riveting and thought-provoking chronicle of the group, and perhaps the greatest film ever made about the ‘60s in general, while Clear Glasses is a ruefully funny meditation on an artifact of the era. This should be a memorable afternoon, as Rudd, whose perspective is honest and contemplative, yet true to the era’s ideals, will share his unique perspective on more-timely-than-ever questions of how best to accomplish social change.
