Introductory remarks by Professor Orville Clarke

Dirty Pictures (2000) – Rated R*The movie contains some graphic photographic images*
Starring: James Woods, Craig T. Nelson and Diana Scarwin
With appearances by: Rep. Barney Frank, William F. Buckley, Salman Rushdie and Robert Mapplethorpe
This movie is a dramatization of the controversy and trial surrounding the Robert Mapplethorpe photographic exhibition, The Perfect Moment, in Cincinnati in 1990. The outcome of that trial is still being debated today. It is a powerful exploration of censorship in the world of art.
All are welcome.

I can hardly believe the incredible attendance at this event. There were possibly 120 students! It was standing room only with people sitting in the aisles.
