Charleen


Charleen is a 1977 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, and her friendship with American poet Ezra Pound.
McElwee shot the film as part of his graduate thesis at MIT.
