Spaces and Places presented six films that explore the complex relationship between history, memory, and the effect of time’s passage on the places we call home. The fall semester offered three personal portraits of very public figures, taking us on a broad journey from post-war England through the beaches of the world to the virtual reality of cyberspace. In spring, the focus turned from person to place, presenting films that take on the troubled past and uncertain future of three landscapes steeped in the complex racial history of the United States.
