Time:
5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Location: Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, Auburn University
Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art presents the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Filmmakers, a program that brings in artists and their films for screening and discussion. October's guest
filmmaker is Marta Cunningham.
At the height of the bullying scandal that rocked the U.S. in 2008, a 15-year-old boy named Larry King asked another boy to be his valentine in a suburban schoolyard in California.
The next day Larry was dead, shot in cold blood by his 14-year-old crush Brandon McInerney. At turns shocking, devastating, and outrageous, Valentine Road bores deeply into homophobia, sexism, racism, and class struggle that inform everyday American
life and reveals an American justice system that is utterly unprepared to deal with the realities of teenage crime and punishment.
Admission is free. Advance ticket reservations are encouraged online, as auditorium seating is limited.
