11/4/08, SPECIAL ONE NIGHT ONLY EVENT, A film by Jeff Deutchman, NR, 77MIN
Two weeks before the election of Barack Obama, director Jeff Deutchman asked friends around the world to record their experiences of 11/4/08, a day that had become âhistoricâ before it had even taken place. In this feature documentary, we witness a global canvas begin to unfold: in St. Louis and Austin, idealistic volunteers think they can turn their states blue; in Chicago, voter lines are made even longer when Obama shows up to cast his own vote; in Alaska, children seem to be as invested in the election results as their parents; in Paris, an organization discusses whether there could ever be a black President of France; in Dubai, Berlin, Geneva and New Delhi, expatriates express their emotion from a distance; and in Harlem, a felon casts doubt on whether any of this will actually affect his life. As we approach the final announcement of Obamaâs victory at 11pm EST, what emerges is a portrait of how people choose to live through âhistoryâ: the celebration of a new future remaining entangled with the universally visible tensions of the past.
