The Molly Ivins Memorial Plenary, a mainstay of the CWA, has been subtitled “A Conversation with Senator Amy Klobuchar” and will take place on <strong>Saturday, April 13, at 4 p.m. </strong>in<strong> </strong>Macky Auditorium on the CU Boulder campus.</p> <p>The talk will be a moderated discussion with Tom Zeiler, professor of history and director of the program in international affairs at the 鶹Ƶ. Their discussion will cover a wide range of pressing issues facing communities like Boulder across the country. Sen. Klobuchar will also receive questions from the audience. Audience members wishing to submit a question should <a href="/cwa/node/86" rel="nofollow">download the free CWA app</a> prior to the event.</p> <p><a href="/cwa/amy-klobuchar" rel="nofollow">Amy Klobuchar</a> is the senior U.S. Senator from Minnesota - the first woman elected to the United States Senate in Minnesota’s history. Prior to her time in the U.S. Senate, Klobuchar served as the Hennepin County Attorney. Since she arrived in the Senate, Senator Klobuchar has built a reputation for putting partisanship and politics aside in favor of strengthening our economy and helping middle-class families. A recent Vanderbilt University study ranked Senator Klobuchar as the most effective Democratic senator in the last Congress. She is running for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States in the 2020 election. Klobuchar is a graduate of Yale University and the University of Chicago Law School.</p> <h4><strong>Ticket Update:</strong></h4> <p><strong>The event is free and open to the public but is ticketed.

It's a four-part event showcasing a film along with in-depth&nbsp;analysis with the host. Film critic and author&nbsp;<a href="/cwa/josh-larsen" rel="nofollow">Josh Larsen</a>&nbsp;will host the 2019 series&nbsp;bringing this year's&nbsp;feature: <em>WALL-E</em>, the Oscar-winning, animated Pixar film<em>.</em></p> <p>We asked Josh some questions about this year's event:</p> <p><strong>We're excited to welcome you back to Boulder!&nbsp;What made you say yes to your third year at CWA?</strong></p> <p>Well, my first year, in 2017, was very much a trial by fire, having not attended Interruptus in the past. I learned a lot from that and brought those lessons to my second year, where we streamlined the experience and brought in other CWA speakers as guest participants. We'll continue to tweak things as we see fit, but I was mostly excited to come back this year because I finally feel like I know what I'm doing.</p> <p><strong>Can you give any insight into your selection of <em>WALL-E&nbsp;</em>as this year's film?</strong></p> <p>We've developed a bit of a pattern of selecting titles that don't exactly fit the traditional Interruptus agenda, which had largely been devoted to "canon" films, or commonly accepted classics.<em> Rushmore,</em> 2016's selection, was not only more recent but also a purer comedy, while <em>Mad Max: Fury Road,</em> last year's choice, was an entry in a genre that's rarely given classic consideration: action. But a good film is a good film, and the format that Roger Ebert established for Interruptus is - unsurprisingly - generous and flexible enough to work with all sorts of cinema. And that's why this year we're headed in another unconventional direction: animation.</p> <p><strong>We believe this is the first animated film to be dissected at CWA Interruptus. What makes <em>WALL-E</em> unique among other animated pictures?</strong></p> <p><i>WALL-E</i>'s extended opening sequence is essentially a silent film, without dialogue of any kind. And so more than many animated efforts, it places great importance on aesthetic elements such as production design, editing, music, character design, and more. These are exactly the sort of details we dig into throughout Interruptus - in addition to considering things like theme and story - so I'm confident <em>WALL-E</em> will stand up to the scrutiny, while also being a ton of fun to watch with a crowd.</p> <hr> <p>Catch this year's&nbsp;four-part Interruptus series daily <strong>Tuesday, April 9 through Friday, April 12</strong> from <strong>3:30-5:00 p.m.</strong> in Macky Auditorium on the CU Boulder campus.
