Wignall Museum Project Space
Join Broadcasting & Cinema Professor Daniel Jacobo to watch this historic 1927 film. The first feature film to utilize Synchronous Sound, The Jazz Singer tells the story of Jakie Rabinowitz who goes into show business over his father's objections. Nominated for two Academy Awards, The Jazz Singer includes scenes in which Al Jolson performs in blackface, which fell out of favor as a theatrical act in the early 20th century. A discussion about the film will take place after the screening.The event is free and light refreshments will be provided by the Chaffey Art Organization (CAO).

The place was packed! Great turn out today. Professor Jacobo gave an excellent introduction to the film. For most of the students this was the first time they had seen this classic film. Thanks to everyone that helped out today!
If you missed out today, we'll be doing it again with a screening of Spike Lee's Bamboozled on Wednesday, September 24, 6:00 pm at the Wignall Museum.
