This November, Americans will have the opportunity to make a dramatic imprint on history by participating in what has been called the most important election of our time. Vote Film 2008 is a dynamic series featuring films and speakers exploring the intersections of politics and media and their impacts on us as filmmakers, film viewers and citizens.

Election Day is a triumph of documentary storytelling. Forget the pie charts, color-coded maps and hyperventilating pundits. What is the street-level experience of voters in today’s America? Election Day combines 11 stories shot simultaneously on November 2, 2004, from dawn until long past midnight. The result is an entertaining, inspiring and sometimes unsettling tapestry of citizens determined on one fateful day to make their votes count.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Katy Chevigny.

Organized by Brenda Goodman (Cinematic Arts). Co-sponsored by Cinematheque 108.
