Charleen

Charleen is an observational documentary film directed and shot by Ross McElwee, about his friend and former poetry teacher, Charleen Swansea[?]. McElwee follows Charleen over a month in her life in North Carolina, where she still teaches poetry, engages in interracial flirtation (to the titillation of her students), and prepares to sell a personal letter from Ezra Pound in which Pound bemoans Charleen's impending marriage.

McElwee shot the film as part of his graduate thesis at MIT, where he studied under Richard Leacock[?] and Edward Pincus[?]. The film is 59 minutes long.
