Professor of English Patricia O'Neill lectured at Skidmore College on Tuesday, Nov. 18, as a presenter in the college's International Week program. O'Neill's talk was titled "Where Globalization and Localization Meet: The Films of Spike Lee" and was sponsored by Skidmore's Off-Campus Study and Exchanges and the Speakers Bureau.
Tracing Lee's role as a New York City filmmaker, O'Neill examined his films from Do the Right Thing to Inside Man. She ended with a discussion of how Lee's strengths as an urban storyteller and experimental filmmaker were adapted in When the Levees Broke, his documentary on New Orleans.
