Night Waltz, Owsley Brown filmmaker Winner of the Independent Spirit Award in 2000, Night Waltz is Owsley Brown's directing debut. Brown follows the expatriate American bad boy novelist, Paul Bowles, through his least known but perhaps most interesting side - his music. Bowles, who had a lengthy career as a composer before publishing The Sheltering Sky in 1949, is convinced that his music would not be popular without his literary fame. Night Waltz blends footage of Bowles shot in Morocco with seven visual essays by Nathaniel Dorsky, Rudy Burckhardt and Jerome Hiler set to Bowles' music. Lipinsky Auditorium on the UNC-Asheville Campus. $4.00 for Museum members, $5.00 for the General Public, Free to UNC-A students.

Owen Whitfield and the women and men who joined the strike will go down in history as heroes in the struggle for civil rights, human rights, and the rights of working people everywhere." - Robin D. G. Kelley, New York University. Lipinsky Auditorium on the UNC-Asheville Campus. $4.00 for Museum members, $5.00 for the General Public, Free to UNC-A students.
