Belated shout out and thank you to Steve Cossman from Mono No Aware for teaching two film workshops on February 18 and 19! During this two-day event, students learned a brief history of film and the technology behind it before diving into hands-on work. Each student created two short films using 16 mm film: one with direct filmmaking animation and another using the Aaton LTR camera.

Join us on Tuesday, May 1 at 7PM in Landis Cinema, Buck Hall for ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS (dir. Howard Hawks, 1939, 121 min.) From perhaps Hollywood’s most legendary year comes a classic drama/adventure and one of director Howard Hawks’s best. Daredevil pilot Geoff Carter (Cary Grant) is tempting fate by delivering airmail high in the dangerous Andes mountains when entertainer Bonnie Lee (Jean Arthur) comes to town and complicates things. Noted for impressive visuals and smart, rapid dialogue, ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS “explores Hawks’s recurring themes of masculine codes and the strong-willed women who question them” (Criterion).

Join us on Tuesday, April 24 at 7PM in Landis Cinema, Buck Hall for BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (dir. Ang Lee, 2005, 134 min.) Ang Lee’s gorgeous and intimate neo-Western sees a rodeo cowboy and a ranch hand meeting up during a job herding sheep in 1963 Wyoming. Unexpectedly, they form a bond that is surprising, risky, fraught, lasting and beautiful. Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger are memorable portraying a relationship of complex emotions, and writer Annie Proulx, on whose story the film is based, has said: “I may be the first writer in America to have a piece of writing make its way to the screen whole and entire.”

Join us on Tuesday, April 10 at 7PM in Landis Cinema, Buck Hall for BRAZIL (dir. Terry Gilliam, 1985, 145 min.) Ex-Python Gilliam’s dystopian, science fiction satire has downtrodden government cog Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) fleeing his mind-numbing existence in winged-search of a woman from
his daydreams. Sam is assigned the unenviable task of setting right the systems error that caused the accidental death of a man erroneously thought to be arch terrorist and air conditioning man Harry Tuttle (Robert De Niro). Part George Orwell, part Fritz Lang, part Monty Python, BRAZIL satirizes a dark, dysfunctional, bureaucratic, dehumanizing world we have come to call home.

Please join us on Tuesday, April 10, 2018 for the Design, Media, and the Arts initiative for a talk by Professor Suzanne Anker entitled "Arcadia: Lost and Found" @ 4:15 – 5:15 in Skillman’s Gendebein Room. There will be a light reception immediately following.

In this era of global warming and species extinction, forays into the biological sciences have developed novel processes and products to mediate nature. Artists are also developing projects that bring into consciousness the adaptive measures involved in altering nature. Professor Anker’s talk will explore these sites of artistic and biological intersection.

Suzanne Anker is a pioneer in Bio Art, working between art and the biological sciences. She has chaired SVA’s Fine Arts Department in NYC since 2005 and continues to interweave traditional and experimental media in her department’s new digital initiative and the SVA Bio Art Laboratory. She works in a variety of mediums ranging from digital sculpture and installation to large-scale photography to plants grown by LED lights. Her work has been shown both nationally and internationally, including the JP Getty Museum, the Pera Museum in Istanbul, and the International Biennial of Contemporary Art of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia. Her books include The Molecular Gaze: Art in the Genetic Age, co-authored with the late sociologist Dorothy Nelkin, published in 2004 by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press; and Visual Culture and Bioscience, co-published by University of Maryland and the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.

Join us on Tuesday, April 10 at 7PM in Landis Cinema, Buck Hall for DOWNFALL (dir. Oliver Hirschbiegel, 2004, 155 min.) Told largely via the perspective of Adolf Hi**er’s secretary Traudl Junge (Alexandra Maria Lara),
DOWNFALL dramatizes the last days inside Hi**er’s bunker as the Soviet army encircles Berlin. Bruno Ganz is memorable as the increasingly deranged and pathetic Hi**er, presiding over the disintegration of the Third Reich. Reviewing the film when it appeared during the Iraq War, Roger Ebert wrote: “It is useful to reflect that racism, xenophobia, grandiosity and fear are still with us, and the defeat of one of their manifestations does not inoculate us against others.
