Independent Lens Saturday Cinema: More than a Month - WTTW 11

Air Check 

Dear Member, 

For many years, WTTW has been honored to partner with the award-winning filmmakers at Chicagobased 

Kartemquin Films. Last year, Kartemquin marked its 40th anniversary and, in celebration, WTTW11 

aired some of their most acclaimed films including A Good Man, Prisoner of Her Past, Now We Live on 

Clifton, and many more. Coming up on February 14, we bring you one of their 

most courageous and locally relevant works to date – The Interrupters, which 

will air on Frontline at 8:00 pm. The film tells the stories of three “Violence 

Interrupters” who work to protect their Chicago communities from the violence 

they once employed themselves, to mentor and encourage troubled youth, and 

ultimately, to make our city a better place. From the director of Hoop Dreams 

Steve James and the author of There Are No Children Here Alex Kotlowitz, this 

film attempts to make sense of what film subject Tio Hardiman calls, simply, 

“the madness.” Visit our website for more discussion about the film and the 

issues it raises, and stay tuned at 10:00 pm for an extended discussion with 

the Interrupters. 

As winter marches on, WTTW marks Black History Month with a diverse slate of special programming 

(see page 7 for details). Also this month, American Experience premieres a new biography of President Bill 

Clinton who rose from a broken childhood in Arkansas to become one of the most successful politicians in 

modern American history, and one of the most complex and conflicted characters to ever stride across the 

public stage. Other programming highlights include more new episodes of Masterpiece Classic: Downton 

Abbey and Doc Martin; a Great Performances special that gives you a front row seat at the Broadway hit 

musical Memphis; an intimate look at the world of the Amish; and, on the local front, the return of The 

Chicago Stand-Up Project and broadcasts of the 2011 winning programs from our annual Viewer’s Choice 

Awards. Don’t forget to vote if you haven’t already on wttw.com/viewerschoice. Online voting ends on 

February 15! 

This month, 98.7WFMT will have two new live Lyric Opera broadcasts, when the Matthew Bucksbaum 

Family presents Show Boat on February 12 and Handel’s Rinaldo with David Daniels on February 29. 

George Preston and Roger Pines co-host. And for Black History Month, WFMT will partner with Columbia 

College’s Center for Black Music Research for five one-hour broadcasts on Wednesday afternoons. We 

also present a new series of broadcasts from the Salzburg Festival, beginning on February 5. For more 

February highlights, visit wfmt.com/higlights and let us know what you think of the lineup this month at 

wfmt.com/chimein. 

It’s a great month for WTTW and WFMT on-air and online. Thanks for making this possible with your 

support.

Fletcher), a woman who is more a

Kesey’s novel of the same name, and

Laurence Fishburne narrates 

Slavery by 

Another Name 

Using archival photographs, dramatic 

re-enactments, and interviews with 

leading scholars of the period, this 

documentary challenges one of 

America’s most cherished assumptions: 

the belief that slavery in this country 

ended with Abraham Lincoln’s 

Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. 

This is the harrowing story of how in the 

South, even as chattel slavery came 

to an end, new forms of involuntary 

servitude, including convict leasing, 

debt slavery, and peonage, took its 

place with shocking force.

With a young and brash stable of 

writers and performers, including Steve 

Martin and Rob Reiner, The Smothers 

Brothers Comedy Hour brought an 

edgy new brand of political comedy to 

the airwaves for three seasons in the 

late 1960s. When they were fired in 

1969, brothers Tom and Dick Smothers 

took on their network, CBS, in the 

courts...and, in a remarkable 

David vs. Goliath battle, won.

Bill Clinton 

Clinton: 


(in 2 parts) 

From draft dodging to the Dayton 

Accords, from Monica Lewinsky to 

a balanced budget, the presidency 

of William Jefferson Clinton veered 

between sordid scandal and grand 

achievement. This new twopart 

film recounts a career full of 

accomplishment and rife with scandal, 

a marriage that would make history and 

create controversy, and a presidency 

that would define the crucial and 

transformative period between the fall 

of the Berlin Wall and 9/11.

Winner of the 2010 Tony Award for 

Best New Musical, Memphis turns 

the radio dial back to the 1950s to tell 

the story of a white DJ named Huey 

Calhoun (Chad Kimball), whose love 

of music transcends racial lines and 

airwaves. Felicia Farrell (Montego 

Glover), a young black singer whose 

career is on the rise, can’t make the 

break out of segregated clubs on her 

own. When the two collaborate, her 

soulful sound reaches radio audiences 

everywhere, and the golden era of early 

rock ‘n’ roll takes flight. But as things 

heat up, whether the world is really 

ready for their music – and their 

love – is put to a test.

Cab Calloway 


Cab Calloway – 

Sketches 

“Hi de hi de hi de ho,” the popular 

refrain from Minnie the Moocher was 

Cab Calloway’s signature song, and 

Harlem’s famous Cotton Club was 

his home stage. A singer, dancer, 

and band leader, Calloway was an 

exceptional figure in the history of jazz – 

a consummate musician, he charmed 

audiences across the world with 

boundless energy, bravado, and elegant 

showmanship. His career flagged until 

he was rediscovered in the 1980s Blues 

Brothers and even on Sesame Street, 

becoming a new cult hero of sorts.

9:00 NOVA: Japan’s Killer Quake 

Japan’s earthquake in March 

2011 was the world’s fourth

behind the catastrophe. 

10:00 Secrets of the Dead: 

Japanese Super Sub In 

the spring of 1946, America 

destroyed one of Japan’s most 

advanced weapons systems. 

But this was no belated 

attack against the defeated 

Japanese. Rather, it was an 

attempt to keep an advanced, 

top-secret submarine out of 

the hands of the Russians. 




The Amish: 


On October 2, 2006, a 32-year-old 

milk truck driver named Charles 

Roberts entered a one-room 

schoolhouse in the Amish community 

of Nickel Mines in Lancaster County, 

PA, and shot 10 young girls, killing five, 

before committing suicide as police 

officers stormed the school. Just hours 

after the shooting, Amish community 

members visited the gunman’s family 

to offer forgiveness. These events 

horrified the nation for the senseless 

brutality of the shootings, and left many 

questioning and haunted by the victims’ 

startling response. With unprecedented 

access to the Amish built on patience 

and hard-won trust, the film is the first 

to penetrate and explore this attentionaverse 

group.

Nature: Echo – 

An Elephant to 

Remember 

Echo, the elephant matriarch, was 

the subject of many films and the 

leader of a carefully studied herd of 

elephants in Africa. Last year, she died 

of natural causes. This film is a look 

back at this remarkable animal through 

extraordinary footage and interviews 

with the researchers who cared for and 

studied this amazing herd.

COMPOSeR OF THe MOnTH 

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky 

(1840-1893) 

It would be difficult if not impossible 

to determine which classical 

composer’s music is performed 

the most often, but if someone 

were to attempt a list, the name of 

Tchaikovsky would be near the top. 

The popularity of his symphonies 

and ballet scores, in particular, is 

enduring; during February we’ll 

also sample piano music, chamber 

scores, and vocal works. In this 

month when we celebrate Valentine’s 

Day, we hope you’ll especially enjoy 

the music of this ultimate Romantic 

among the great composers.

COMPOSeR OF THe MOnTH 

Claude Debussy 

(1862-1918) 

Offering an assessment of Claude 

Debussy, whose 150th birthday will 

be celebrated during 2012, musical 

commentator Roger Nichols said: “He 

produced a body of orchestral and 

piano works unusually independent 

of traditional norms in form, harmony, 

and coloring; while in his songs and 

single opera he achieved a new 

psychological penetration through 

understatement. Few later composers 

have been uninfluenced by him.” We’ll 

sample Debussy’s music extensively, 

every day this month. Jon Tolansky 

will talk with Denis Herlin, editor of the 

new critical edition of the composer’s 

works, in Claude Debussy: Visionary 

Revolutionary. Also look for a 

New York Philharmonic This Week 

retrospective featuring his Images 

and Martyrdom of St. Sebastian 

in historic performances, and 

Michael Tilson Thomas conducting 

La Mer on a French-themed San 

Francisco Symphony broadcast.

Alexander von Zemlinsky 

Salzburg Festival 2011 

The world’s first international music 

festival, and the most renowned, 

Salzburg continues its 90-year-plus 

history of presenting great orchestras, 

soloists, opera, and theater in the 

historic, picturesque Austrian town 

where Mozart was born. The world’s 

stars have been drawn to Salzburg 

for decades, not only for the largescale 

concerts and the exposure, but 

also for the intimacy and acoustic 

excellence of the historic Mozarteum 

hall. Hosted by Kerry Frumkin and 

produced by Carolyn Paulin, a 10-part 

series of concerts from last summer’s 

festival begins on Sunday afternoons. 

The first broadcast features the Vienna 

Philharmonic, soprano Christine 

Schäfer, and baritone Michael Volle in 

the rarely-heard Lyric Symphony by 

Alexander von Zemlinsky (1871-1942). 

Sundays, February 5,

Richard Hickox 

Tuesday night Opera: 

Menotti on the 

mysteries of faith 

Writing about The Saint of Bleecker 

Street (1954), Gian-Carlo Menotti 

said: “It is about faith and doubt, and 

that – not Little Italy [where the opera 

is set] – is the important thing. The 

love between Annina and Michele is 

simply a metaphor for my own soul, 

because I have two natures in myself. 

One is the believing and the other is 

the doubting. My theory is that if you 

really have faith, it is a gift – either 

you have it or you don’t – and if you 

have the kind of mind that doubts, 

you can never really believe. That’s 

why there is no reconciliation at 

the end. Annina and Michele love 

each other, because I would love to 

be able to believe, but at the same 

time I cannot renounce the other 

side of me that is logical.” Richard 

Hickox conducts a performance 

recorded at the Spoleto Festival.

Deborah Voigt as Brünnhilde 

Live from the Met: 

new Götterdämmerung 

production 

Directed by Robert Lepage, the Met’s 

new production of Wagner’s Ring 

cycle is highlighted on February’s 

broadcast of the final music-drama 

in the cycle, Götterdämmerung (The 

Twilight of the Gods). Lepage says this 

work “is different from the other Ring 

operas because it is about society. 

The more the story progresses, the 

more it moves away from the realm 

of the gods to focus on the power 

and ambition of human beings. 

Götterdämmerung is about Brünnhilde 

in society, her journey as a character, 

and her role as the heroine who 

must restore balance to the world.” 

Deborah Voigt stars as Brünnhilde.

Esa-Pekka Salonen 

Chicago Symphony: 

Salonen, Dodge, 

Matheson, Mahler 

Writing in the Chicago Tribune in 

December, John von Rhein said: 

“[James] Matheson’s concerto is a 

supercharged showpiece for virtuoso 

violinist and orchestra that connects 

with the listener on a visceral as 

well as intellectual level. It keeps 

the soloist extremely busy as he 

negotiates a maze of vivid, colorful 

orchestral effects.” CSO principal 

second violinist Baird Dodge was 

the soloist in this new concerto 

composed by a longtime friend. 

Guest conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen 

continued this season’s Mahler theme 

with a performance of the Symphony 

#6 that von Rhein called “electrifying.”

The Newberry Consort Luigi Boccherini 

Live from WFMT: 

The newberry Consort 

Kerry Frumkin welcomes the 

Newberry Consort to its first-ever 

appearance on WFMT’s live studioconcert 

series. Soprano Ellen Hargis 

of the Newberry says about their 

program that it will “celebrate the 

great noble amateur ensemble of the 

16th and 17th centuries, the consort 

of viols. A group of instruments in 

sizes from soprano to ëgreat dooble 

bass,’ numbering from at least three 

to as many as seven or eight, strung 

in gut and played while held between 

the legs, the viol consort was the 

ensemble of choice for composers 

writing elegant polyphonic fantasies, 

choral anthems, or consort songs. 

After a decline and hiatus of some 

hundreds of years, the viol consort 

has once again bcome the darling 

of composers, and new works are 

being written for viols in combination 

with other instruments, with voices, 

and especially in consorts. Our 

[performance] explores both the 

rich history of this ensemble’s 

Renaissance repertoire [and] some of 

the delightfully varied works written 

for it in the 20th and 21st centuries.”

and his chief knight Rinaldo are

But the king’s lover and ally is the 

sorceress Armida ñ and she uses 

every trick in her arsenal to help win
