“Words can’t do justice to the singular power of Keith Maitland’s documentary TOWER …You might not see a more emotionally shattering film this year.”
—The Village Voice
“TOWER succeeds mightily as dramatic re-enactment, oral history, and journalistic enquiry.”
—Cineaste
“Ingenious. The animation gives Mr. Maitland a lot of creative freedom, allowing him to take Expressionistic leaps.”
—The New York Times (Critic’s Pick)
We are commemorating the 60th anniversary of the deadly 1966 shootings on the University of Texas campus with a special 10th anniversary screening of Keith Maitland’s innovative hybrid animation documentary about the events. Maitland and some very special guests will join us for a post-screening panel discussion after the film.
This project is supported in part by an Elevate Grant of Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment.
