As part of the ongoing efforts of the Clinton School of Public Service to bring innovative and interesting programming, today at noon the school is hosting a forum on the power of film to effect change.

Robert Walden is an Emmy-nominated actor best known for his portrayal of the reporter Joe Rossi on the television series Lou Grant. As artistic director of the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute Film Forum, Walden has assembled award-winning Hollywood professionals — directors, writers, teachers, coaches and actors — for three days of workshops, classes, panels and networking, March 21-24, at the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute on Petit Jean Mountain.

Arkansas filmmaker Tim Jackson will interview Walden at the Clinton School about his work with more than 40 Oscar nominees and winners and the unique power of film and television to effect change.

The program will take place at Sturgis Hall on the Clinton School campus at 12 noon.

Later this year, Walden will be starring in the Arkansas Rep’s production of Death of a Salesman.
