CMU’s Center for the Arts in Society To Host Acclaimed Filmmaker Tom Kalin

Carnegie Mellon University: Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for the Arts in Society (CAS) will host acclaimed filmmaker, writer and activist Tom Kalin on March 29-30.

Kalin’s work crosses diverse forms and genres and often sparks controversy. Inspired by three notorious American crimes — the 1924 Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb child murder case, the 1968 shooting of Andy Warhol and the 1972 murder of Barbara Daly Baekeland — his three feature films, “Swoon,” “I Shot Andy Warhol” and “Savage Grace,” test the boundaries between psychology and behavior, public and private identity and documentary fact and dramatic truth.
