Together, the Ripon Public Library and Ripon College invite you to a screening and discussion of "Revival: Presidential Campaign Spots, 1952-1968", a film by Aidan Tumas.

This event will take place on Thursday, April 8th at 6:30 p.m. in Room 147 of Ripon College's Rodman Center for the Arts. 

Revival: Presidential Campaign Spots, 1952-1968

Tumas - originally from Ripon and a graduate of Vassar College in Media Studies - created an experimental documentary that explores presidential campaign advertising during the 1950s and 1960s.  The history of televised political campaigns runs parallel to the larger history of advertising, and in its first two decades, candidates became increasingly compelled to make strategic use of the TV medium. "Revival" focuses particularly on 1964 and 1968, two years in which prominent admen were given unprecedented freedom to create groundbreaking campaigns for Johnson and Nixon. 

Please join us!

This event is free and open to the public.
