3. David Gordon Green will appear in person to discuss his films on Tuesday, Oct. 26, at 3 p.m. in
the Fine Arts Building Balcony Theater, room 300.

"Undertow" is a dramatic thriller set in the South about two brothers who run away from home to
guard a family secret following the death of their father and the arrival of their greedy and
troubled uncle.

Green's award-winning film, "George Washington," is a jarring portrait of life in the South that
confronts issues of adolescence and transcends questions of age and race. "David Gordon Green
manages to pull off a surprising film that stubbornly defies expectations and looks like Terrence
Malick got lost in a postindustrial version of William Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County," said
Kohn.

"Green tells stories of wandering and disaffected young people - not rebels, not outcast, just
somehow lost - who live in an American South of empty fields and marginal homes and rusted-
out remnants of bankrupt manufacturing enterprises," said Roger Ebert, film critic, director of
Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival and Kohn's partner in the festival. "He photographs them with the
attention of an artist. He gives them things to say that you have never heard anyone say before,
and yet it always sounds as if they would say them."
