The latest film from master documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman. The subject of the film is an Austin, Texas institution, Lord’s Gym, which was founded 16 years ago by Richard Lord, a former professional boxer. A wide variety of people of all ages, races, ethnicities and social classes train at the gym: men, women, children, doctors, lawyers, judges, business men and women, immigrants, professional boxers and people who want to become professional boxers alongside amateurs who love the sport and teenagers who are trying to develop strength and assertiveness. The gym is an example of the American “melting pot” where people meet, talk, and train. The film screens on Friday, January 7 at 8 p.m., Saturday, January 8 at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday, January 9 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Admission is $7 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non UM-students and staff. General admission is $9. Free for UM students. Buy tickets online. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com or call 305-284-4861.
