Matthew H. Bernstein Print
Date: Monday, July 13 2009, 7:15PM—8:15PM
Location: Decatur
Event Type: Author Talks
Age Group: Adult (18+)

Matthew H. Bernstein, professor, chair and director of graduate studies in the Film Studies Department at Emory University, visits with a unique program on one of the worst crimes in Atlanta's history: the murder of Leo Frank in 1913. In his revelatory new book, Screening a Lynching, Bernstein is the first scholar to examine feature films and television programs that followed in the wake of the sensational case. For this evening's presentation, he will show clips from some of these programs and offer insights into the cultural aspects of the productions to illuminate issues of race, ethnicity, religion and law. It will be a dramatic, important evening.
