Event Description

The Magic Bond

1956. USA. Written and directed by Robert Altman. With Joe Adelman, Owen Bush, Kermit Echols, James Lantz, Keith Painton. Produced by the Calvin Company. A promotional short for the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Episodic lessons challenge apathy and neglect at a time when generational shifts were beginning to threaten traditional values. Digital projection. 28 min.

Secret Honor

1983. USA. Directed by Robert Altman. Screenplay by Donald Freed, Arnold M. Stone, based on their play. With Philip Baker Hall. The restless surveillance of Altman’s camera is key to this effective adaptation of Hall’s ferocious one-man stage portrayal of disgraced ex-president Nixon. His fictionalized railing against exile from the seat of power has been likened to the director’s volatile feelings of estrangement from Hollywood in the 1980s. 90 min.
