Beyond The Wall explores important parallels between infringements upo our civil liberties in the 1960s and the 2000s. Over 3000 UNC students turned out to hear American Communists, Herbert Aptheker and Frank Wilkinson, speak across a wall separating the town of Chapel Hill from the university in March of 1966, testing a state law which was eventually found unconstitutional in federal court, after students took the university and state of North Carolina to court. Participants in these events draw parallels between anti-Communist and anti-terrorist constraints upon our civil liberties, such as the 1960s North Carolina speaker ban law then the the USA PATRIOT ACT now, respectively. The documentary features live performance music by Bob Dylan, who was disinvited from performing at UNC in the 1960s, and Lenny Kravitz.

Grand Festival Award Winner, Berkeley Video and Film Festival. Additional official film festival selections and screenings include: River Run International Film Festival, Oxford International Festival of Films, Freedom Cinema Festival, and NYC Eureka International Film Festival. The film is approximately 61 minutes in length.
 


1963

Concept and Content Robert E. Stipe, Institute of Government, UNC Chapel Hill and James Bramlett
Film and Production: James Bramlett
Supervision: Earl Wynn, Department of Radio, Television, and Motion Pictures, UNC Chapel Hill

"The film features shots in the following North Carolina towns: High Point, Asheville, Raleigh, Hillsborough, and Pittsboro. "Deals with variety of matters related to the environment in North Carolina. Emphasis is on visual aspects of urban and rural life. Plays up contrasts between what many people would regard as the 'best' and 'worst' aspects of the environment." Description taken from the North Carolina Public Library Film Service Catalog of 16mm films, 1972 Edition."

Ironic, cynical, sarcastic as hell...There is even 11 seconds of film shot in my little home town of Bonlee at the 2:11 to 2:22 minute marks.

Why I was viewing this I cannot say.

Easy answer is Patch Adams, if you are including the University.

Edit: He's Not beat me to it!
 
‘Three in the Attiic’ right here - VCRed right off the T&V, commercials and all!

"Everybody's All American" was set in Chapel Hill in the novel but was NOT filmed there because the PTB felt it was disrespectful of Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice
 
Chapel Hill is "featured" in the TV series Outer Banks. The protagonists take a ferry from Charleston to Chapel Hill. There's also a heavy prevalence of UNC jerseys being worn by people in the show. And let's not forget Armando's cameo.

I was in it! You can't see me, though, because I'm inside the building with the big legs while taking a test on Judaic civilization. Got to meet Robin Williams. He was nice.

When did he start working there? That name sounds familiar. I used to play 3 cushion billiards with Howard Henry when he was director, was roommates for a while with Jim Ridout when he ran the bowling alley and poolroom in the 70s and also knew Nancy Bolish.
