Film Screening: 
Richard Myers’ Confrontation at Kent State and Deathstyles

Beginning in the late 1960s, Richard Myers and his cinematography students hosted Tuesday Cinema and later Filmworks—evenings devoted to experimental film that ranged from cutting-edge avant-garde works to Betty Boop cartoons. In that same spirit, a special installment of Rubicon Cinema, sponsored by the May 4 Visitors Center, will feature two films by Myers in honor of the exhibition Reel Witness: May 4 on the Screen.

Created in response to widespread misinformation surrounding the May 4, 1970 shootings at Kent State University, these films offer both documentary urgency and experimental reflection.
