Powerful Film Recreating the 1966 UT Tower Shooting
SPOILER: Tower received huge ovations and overwhelming support in its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin. It has already won the grand jury award for best documentary. This is powerful spectacular film that brings back the most traumatic event in the history of this city when a gun man from the UT-Austin’s iconic tower committed mass murder on sunny day in August. The film was made to mark the upcoming 50th anniversary of the one of the earliest and one of the worst mass school shootings in American history. It will be released widely on PBS’s Independent Lens later this year and possibly in theaters as well. There are still many folks in Austin who remember that day. The filmmaker made the brilliant choice to combine original news coverage with animation so as to recreate the tragic events nearly perfectly (without having to actually film people shooting on the UT- Austin campus). They use actor’s voice to recreate the events which are based on interviews with many of the original participants (victims, police, witnesses). Very little is said about the gun man.

For those of us came to the Forty Acres (UT-Austin campus) years later, there is an eerie feeling in just watching the events play out at the center of campus where we know every building, every column, every statue like our own homes. The film is haunting and spellbinding. I really couldn’t look away. Afterwards, many of the still living original participants who were portrayed in the film were present on the stage. The moving presence was Clare Wilson, the woman who was 8-month pregnant, and lost her baby and her boyfriend that day.

Tower remains mostly non-political as the film is mostly just a recreating of horror of August 1, 1966. Towards the end, it does speak to the current politics of the issue – particularly the Texas campus carry. That law is scheduled to take effect at 4-year universities in Texas on the 50th anniversary on August 1, 2016 – supposedly by coincidence. Those current day politics have become an unavoidable epilogue that have forced themselves into the debate. That will also be the day when they are planning to unveil an official memorial to the victims on the UT campus. This is a difficult film to watch, but it must be seen, because the history remains completely relevant today.

I walk across the mall past the Tower almost everyday
I’m a grad student at UT Austin. I went on the Tower Tour last week – on the very observation deck from where the sniper shot. The tour guides aren’t supposed to make the tour about the shooting story, so they didn’t go into it, but they told us about the documentary.

It’s a mix of archival footage and animation. The animation recreates the shooting. And it was riveting. It’s probably riveting for anyone to watch, but watching a horror story unfold in so familiar a location – one that’s part of my daily life – is something else altogether.

Maybe I’ll take a different route tomorrow, or maybe I’ll figure out a way to put this story out of my mind. Also, it was August 1st just yesterday. 52 years to the date.

FYI there is heavy security at the tower these days. You have to pass through a metal detector and everything to go on the tour.
