- **Event Description**: In partnership with the University of Utah Department of Film & Media Arts, the UMFA is excited to host a special screening of "Northern Lights" (1978), the critically acclaimed film directed by John Hanson and Rob Nilsson.

Winner of the 1979 Camera d'Or, "Northern Lights", a unique work of political cinema from the late 1970s, dramatizes small North Dakotan wheat farmers' political struggle against the bankers and railroad magnates pushing them into bankruptcy. Two young lovers get swept up in the turmoil surrounding the formation of the populist Nonpartisan League in the mid-1910's. Shot on location in black-and-white 16mm with a cast of nonprofessional actors, this deeply moving, politically committed film is a masterpiece of American independent cinema. The 4K digital restoration of "Northern Lights" was created by IndieCollect and Metropolis Post in collaboration with directors John Hanson and Rob Nilsson.

Following the screening, join us for a post-film discussion with special guest Alex Smith, filmmaker and a Professor of Fiction Film in the Department of Film & Media Arts at the University of Utah.

This film contains mature themes. Viewer discretion is advised.
