this planning of the University's future.

2.  PROJECTORHEAD THURSDAYS: RUSSIAN ARK

FREE @ The UMMA's Helmut Stern Auditorium, lower level of the museum.

Thursday, February 18th @ 7:00pm.

Russian Ark (Aleksandr Sokurov, 2002, 99 mins.)
"Russian master Alexander Sokurov has tapped into the very flow of history itself for this flabbergasting film. Thanks to the miracles of digital video, Sokurov (and cinematographer Tilman Buttner) uses a single, unbroken, 90-minute shot to wind his way through the Hermitage in St. Petersburg ? the repository of Russian art and the former home to royalty. Gliding through time, we glimpse Catherine II, modern-day museum-goers, and the doomed family of Nicholas II. History collapses on itself, as the opulence of the past and the horrors of the 20th century collide, and each door that opens onto yet another breathtaking gallery is another century to be heard from. The movie climaxes with a grand ball and thousands of extras, prompting thoughts of just how crazy Sokurov had to be to try a technical challenge like this?and how far a distance we've traveled, both physically and spiritually, since the movie began."

Presented in conjunction with LSA's Winter '10 Theme Semester, Meaningful
Objects: Museums in the Academy.

4.  CHINESE DOCUMENTARY FILM SERIES: At Home in the World

Saturday, February 20, 2010 @ 7:10pm
Auditorium A, Angell Hall
Free and Open to the Public

A film by Wu Wenguang, 1995; 80 minutes (Mandarin with English subtitles)
A sequel to Wu Wenguang?s film Bumming in Beijing (CCS Film Event ? Fall 2007), At Home in the World follows five of the Beijing artists featured in the original film who are now scattered to the four corners of the world.  An intimate depiction of their expectations, anxieties and the contradictions that frame their lives, and how these experiences have shaped their lives.

Wu Wenguang ??? (born 1956 in Yunnan) is an independent documentary filmmaker. He is known internationally as one of the founding figures of Chinese independent documentary. His first film, Bumming in Beijing: The Last Dreamers, was unique in that it featured a large amount of handheld  camera work and unscripted interviews. This was a stark contrast to Chinese documentaries produced previously, which were generally carefully planned and controlled.  Other films by him include My Time in Red Guard (1993), Jiang Hu: Life on the Road (1999), Dance with Farm Workers (2001), Your Name is Outlander (2003), and Fuck Cinema (2005)
