In 2002, Janet Davis, professor of American Studies at the University of Texas-Austin, published a fascinating book titled “The Circus Age: Culture and Society Under the Big Top.” In the book, she presents the circus culture of the late 1800s and early 1900s — a time when railroad circuses would shut down entire towns and advertisements would choke main streets nationwide. The big thinkers spearheading this year’s Citizen Jane Film Festival probably hope the same happens in Columbia this week. This year’s film festival stretches to become “Cirque du Cinema” Friday through next Sunday.
