TELEVISION EVENT by Jeff Daniels.
“TV’S NUCLEAR NIGHTMARE” a fall 1983 Newsweek cover screamed, as American viewers awaited the long-publicized premiere of a made-for-TV movie depicting an all-out nuclear exchange with the Soviets. The threat of nuclear annihilation loomed, and THE DAY AFTER played on these fears to a staggering 100 million viewers (the largest TV movie audience in history at that point). TELEVISION EVENT tracks the unlikely evolution of this audacious project after it is greenlit by the ABC Network. Director Nicholas Meyer (STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN) combatively, hilariously details a succession of clashes with network executives and censors. THE DAY AFTER so disturbed President Ronald Reagan, it prompted his reversal on the country’s nuclear weapons policy. [TRAILER]

Contemporary Artists On Film
In 1989, Zeitgeist curated a city-wide film series BEUYS AND BEYOND: CONTEMPORARY GERMAN ARTISTS ON FILM which also featured artist talks and performances by area artists.
For the premiere of Zeitgeist's great new Theatre & Lounge, we have decided to resurrect the series monthly, but this time expand it to include artists beyond just Germany...
