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 (to the titillation of her students),[2] and her friendship with American poet Ezra Pound.[3]

McElwee shot the film as part of his graduate thesis at MIT.[4]
