UNDER OUR SKIN Screening and Discussion
Rescreening of ALL TOGETHER NOW
Silver Spring, Maryland, June 23, 2008—SILVERDOCS presents ROBERT KENNEDY REMEMBERED as part of its “1968 and Beyond” strand. Filmmaker Charles Guggenheim’s 1964 and 1968 campaign films and TV spots for Robert Kennedy remain influential for both their effectiveness and authentic approach to political storytelling. ROBERT KENNEDY REMEMBERED was made following his tragic death in June in time for the Democratic Convention in August of ’68. It captures the best of the prior films, and the essence of a man who captured the hopes of a generation and continues to inspire with his message of hope and commitment to social justice. The panel will feature AFI Founding Director, George Stevens, Jr., celebrated journalist and former Kennedy press secretary Frank Mankiewicz, filmmaker Grace Guggenehim and Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday.
