Film Festival invite you to a public screening of Winter in the Blood, the
2012 adaptation of James Welch’s first novel and an Official Selection of
the 2013 Los Angeles Film Festival. The screening will take place on Sunday, October 27, at 5:00 PM at
the Paramount Theatre.The 2013-2014 edition of TILTS, “Reading Race in Literature & Film,” brings
together scholars, artists, filmmakers, and writers for conversations about
the ways that we experience race and ethnicity. Winter in the Blood has
been an important contributor to such discussions since its publication in
1974. The novel, in which a young Blackfeet man wanders the Montana Hi-Line
grieving for the loss of his brother and father and searching for
connections to his family and tribal history, was hailed by the New York
Times as “a nearly flawless novel about human life.” Directors Alex and
Andrew Smith capture the beauty, trauma, and humor that marked Welch’s
story.
