Obscene
Big Sky Films Series continues the 2008 season with the independent feature documentary Obscene. Barney Rosset is the greatest American publisher of the twentieth century and the most influential cultural figure that you haven’t heard of. Under Rosset, Grove Press and Evergreen Review fought decisive battles, including many before the state and federal supreme courts, defeated legal censorship, and opened American life to new and dangerous currents of freedom. But Rosset’s public fight against hypocrisy and injustice is inextricable from his tumultuous personal life: the same unyielding, quixotic, reckless energy that upended centuries of law brought Rosset perilously close to self- destruction and exacted a cost from friends, colleagues and family.
The Big Sky Film Series is a periodic monthly screening series highlighting traditional and innovative nonfiction film and video. It is held the first Friday of the month as part of downtown Missoula, Montana’s “Art Walk.” All screenings are held in the Historic Wilma Theater and are free and open to the public.
