*PS John,* *I'm hearing (and of course this would have to be the case) that the situation with Saul and MassArt is more complicated than I'd originally understood--and I suspect that there's an element here of things that seemed passionate and committed to one generation now seeming outrageous to another.*
*Like, I expect, most everyone who teaches film these days, this feels like a strange and uncomfortable time (trigger warnings, etc.). It's easy for anyone to jump to conclusions. * *I don't know anything about Saul's resources, but hopefully retirement will be good to him, even if it's been reached in a painful and stressful way. * *Scott* On Sun, Apr 1, 2018 at 6:42 PM, John Muse <[email protected]> wrote: > Surprised that I haven’t read anything here on the recent news that Saul > Levine "was pushed out of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design after > administrators accused him of 'harming students' by showing his film Notes > After Long Silence, 1989, to his senior thesis class.” > > Here are a few resources: > > Saul’s original post detailing his decision to “[retire] from MassArt,” as > he says, and his reasons: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid= > 10215932754649479&id=1165322620 > > The Artforum article: https://www.artforum.com/news/ > filmmaker-saul-levine-leaves-massart-following-dispute-over-artwork-74844 > > Indiewire article: http://www.indiewire.com/2018/ > 03/saul-levine-mass-art-notes-after-long-silence-1201945678/ > > Saul’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/saullevine > > Films mentioned in the Artforum article include "Notes After a Long > Silence" https://vimeo.com/73242778 and “The Big Stick / An Old Reel” > https://vimeo.com/89886468 > > j/PrM > > ************************************************* > > john muse > visual media scholar > haverford college > he/him/his > http://www.finleymuse.com > http://www.haverford.edu/faculty/jmuse > http://haverford.academia.edu/JohnMuse > > ************************************************* > > > > _______________________________________________ > FrameWorks mailing list > [email protected] > https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks >
