Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. "Starving the Beast" documentary film screening and discussion (March 28, 2017 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/38647 38647-7320027@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 28, 2017 5:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

Starving the Beast examines the ongoing power struggle on college campuses across the nation as political and market-oriented forces push to disrupt and reform America’s public universities. The film documents a philosophical shift that seeks to reframe public higher education as a ‘value proposition’ to be borne by the beneficiary of a college degree rather than as a ‘public good’ for society. Financial winners and losers emerge in a struggle poised to profoundly change public higher education. The film focuses on dramas playing out at the University of Wisconsin, University of Virginia, University of North Carolina, Louisiana State University, University of Texas and Texas A&M.

Korean Cinema NOW | Tunnel <터널> (April 1, 2017 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/36696 36696-5787593@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, April 1, 2017 1:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

The Tunnel is a dramatic survival movie by director Kim Seong-hun, starring Ha Jung-woo, Doona Bae and Oh Dal-su.

Jung-soo (Ha Jung-woo) is a car salesman on his way home for his daughter's birthday. While driving through the newly built Hado Tunnel, the structure suddenly collapses and he remains trapped in the rubble.

Luckily, his cellphone still works and he's able to call for help but things don't go as expected when it becomes clear that the rescue operation will be more complicated than planned and that his safety is not necessarily the only concern of the people above ground.

"The Tunnel is based on a 2013 novel by So Won-jae but one can clearly feel that the story has been reworked to reflect concerns over safety and the government's handling of national incidents in the wake of the Sewol Ferry Incident."

Sports Medicine Club and The Michigan Animal Respect Society present What The Health!

Trailer: https://youtu.be/Jf44vLndiRM

The film follows intrepid filmmaker Kip Andersen as he uncovers the secret to preventing and even reversing chronic diseases – and investigates why the nation’s leading health organizations don’t want us to know about it. With heart disease and cancer the leading causes of death in America, and diabetes at an all-time high, the film reveals possibly the largest health cover-up of our time. With the help of medical doctors, researchers, and consumer advocates, What the Health exposes the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars, and keeping us sick.

When Li (BINGBING FAN, winner of the ASIAN FILM AWARD FOR BEST ACTRESS) realizes that her divorce has become a sham, she decides to take on the Chinese bureaucracy. A series of personal battles with community officials provokes a tireless ten-year fight, ultimately taking her one-woman war for justice to Beijing and back. Enlisting the help of her potential new husband and the self-serving authorities who spar with her along the way, Li finds a surprising and poignant outcome. This smart, visually stunning, and insightful slice-of-life look at China won the TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL INTERNATIONAL CRITICS’ AWARD.

MICHIGAN PREMIERE. A dash of dark Coen Brothers-esque humor, a smidgen of creeping post-apocalyptic dread, and a few ounces of post-industrial China are the elements that comprise the cinematic cocktail that is director JUN GENG’s Free and Easy. Don’t let the film’s slow-burn pace fool you – if the beautiful shots of snowy desolation don’t draw you into this tale of thieves, liars, and con men, its quirky and offbeat characters will. Shot in a series of loose vignettes, the film begins with a traveling soap salesman and quickly expands to a bumbling police duo, a monk, and a forester – none of whom may be what they seem at first glance. It’s an undiscovered gem that feels just right for this often absurd post-election world we currently find ourselves navigating. Winner of the SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL SPECIAL JURY PRIZE FOR WORLD CINEMA – DRAMATIC.

MICHIGAN PREMIERE. National coverage of a gruesome double murder leaves Japanese citizens reeling in fear and suspicion. The killer is nowhere to be found – until he begins traveling the country, swapping identities to stay one step ahead of the police. Now, everyone’s a suspect: the mysterious young man dating a vulnerable daughter; the stranger-turned-lover picked up from the sauna; the drifter living alone on a remote island. Are these three enigmatic newcomers innocent, or are they connected to the crime (and each other)? Based on the acclaimed novel from SHÛICHI YOSHIDA, Rage features a dynamic cast, including KEN WATANABE.

MICHIGAN PREMIERE. Set at the intersection of faith and mysticism, director HONG-JIN NA’s modern take on supernatural mystery takes the viewer on an unforgettable trip through the dizzying and twisty mountains of Korea. A stranger’s arrival in a remote town precedes the spread of a disease that causes a viciousness to spread through the infected. The police officer who is sent to investigate winds up dealing with more than he bargained for when the disease infects his daughter.

Tonally at home with the best European crime thrillers, George Romero’s zombie films, and the darkest corners of Hitchcock’s canon, The Wailing is a visceral mystery interested in exploring the familial bonds that are tested when a father is at his most desperate.

South Korea, 156 min, Horror, Korean and Japanese with English subtitles.

A radical student is adopted by a group of young New Yorkers, which serves as a catalyst to alter his and their lives. Gathering in a Manhattan apartment, the group of friends meet to discuss social mobility, Fourier’s socialism and play bridge in their cocoon of upper-class society – until they are joined by a man with a critical view of their way of life.

The movie was distributed by Ira Deutchman’s New Line Cinema and was directed by Whit Stillman; both will be onsite to discuss the film after the screening!

MICHIGAN PREMIERE. National coverage of a gruesome double murder leaves Japanese citizens reeling in fear and suspicion. The killer is nowhere to be found – until he begins traveling the country, swapping identities to stay one step ahead of the police. Now, everyone’s a suspect: the mysterious young man dating a vulnerable daughter; the stranger-turned-lover picked up from the sauna; the drifter living alone on a remote island. Are these three enigmatic newcomers innocent, or are they connected to the crime (and each other)? Based on the acclaimed novel from SHÛICHI YOSHIDA, Rage features a dynamic cast, including KEN WATANABE.

Meet the women you don’t know, behind the mission you do.

As the U.S. raced against Russia to put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-American female mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the unbelievably true life stories of three of these women—played with humor and candor by Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe—cheer on these remarkable Americans who enabled John Glen to be launched into space while you groove out to a soundtrack by Pharrell.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

Just when the world is losing hope about the possibility of resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict comes Encounter Point. Created by a Palestinian, Israeli, North and South American team, Encounter Point moves beyond sensational and dogmatic imagery to tell the story of an Israeli settler, a Palestinian ex-prisoner, a bereaved Israeli mother and a wounded Palestinian bereaved brother who risk their safety and public standing to press for an end to the conflict. They are at the vanguard of a movement to push Palestinian and Israeli societies to a tipping point, forging a new consensus for nonviolence and peace. Perhaps years from now, their actions will be recognized as a catalyst for constructive change in the region. Encounter Point is a film about hope, true courage and implicitly about the silence of journalists and politicians who pay little attention to vital grassroots peace efforts.

Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

Please join us for a film screening of "The Wanted 18." It started simply enough, with the purchase of 18 cows. Bought by residents of the West Bank town of Beit Sahour, the cows were a symbol of freedom and resistance, allowing them to provide milk for their children rather than buying it from an Israeli company. But these were not ordinary times. The first Palestinian popular movement in the West Bank was rising and soon the illegal cows, cherished by the Palestinians, were being sought by the Israeli army. With humor and passion, The Wanted 18 captures the spirit of the 1987 uprising through the personal experiences of those who lived it, bringing to life one of the strangest chapters in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Screening: Get in the Way (September 21, 2017 5:10pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/44180 44180-9891992@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 21, 2017 5:10pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design

A free screening of the 2017 PBS documentary Get in the Way will be presented on Thursday, September 21, 2017 at 5:10 pm in the Michigan Theater. The film chronicles the journey of civil rights hero, congressman, and human rights champion John Lewis and is presented in partnership with Detroit Public Television (DPTV).

This screening of Get in the Way replaces the previously scheduled speaker series talk by Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell on the collaborative co-authoring of MARCH, a graphic novel trilogy about the congressmen’s life and activism. The talk was postponed due to an emergency meeting called by the Congressional Black Caucus in the nation’s capitol, and will now take place on November 27, 2017 at 7 pm in Hill Auditorium: http://stamps.umich.edu/stamps/detail/john-lewis

Please visit the Conflict and Peace Initiative’s Marching Forward website (https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/marchingforward/) for information on additional events with MARCH illustrator Nate Powell.

About Get in the Way

Through never-before-seen interviews shot over 20 years, Lewis, a masterful storyteller, tells the gripping tale of his role in these history-making events. Other key interviewees include civil rights activists Andrew Young, C.T. Vivian, Juanita Abernathy, and Bernard Lafayette, plus Lewis’ congressional colleagues Eleanor Holmes Norton, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Emanuel Cleaver, and Amory Houghton.

Once an activist pushing from the outside, Lewis, now 76 years old, has become a determined legislator making noise on the inside. Considered by many to be the conscience of Congress, with equal measures of modesty and forcefulness, Lewis strives to persuade D.C. power brokers to hear the voices of the unheard. He fights for those suffering from discrimination, poverty, poor education, police brutality, inaccessible healthcare and limitations on voter rights. Despite setbacks – and there have been many – John Lewis’ eyes remain on the prize.

All Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series presentations are free and open to the public; visit http://stamps.umich.edu/stamps to view upcoming events.

Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

UMMA will once again illuminate its facade with eight days of artwork, performances, and video during Nights At the Museum this September.

UMMA’s exterior media art initiative is free and open to the public, and will run September 15-22 from early evening to dawn along its South State Street-side facade, on the west side of the Maxine and Stuart Frankel and the Frankel Family Wing.

Einstein on the Beach breaks all of the rules of conventional opera. Instead of a traditional orchestral arrangement, Glass composed for the synthesizers, woodwinds, and voices of the Philip Glass Ensemble. Non-narrative in form, the work uses a series of powerful recurrent images as its main dramatic device, shown in juxtaposition with abstract dance sequences created by American choreographer Lucinda Childs.

UMMA encourages viewers to bring blankets and chairs to enjoy the performances on the lawn, and to send feedback using the #ummanights hashtag on social media sites.

Nights at the Museum is presented in partnership with the University Musical Society, the University of Michigan Bicentennial Office, School of Music, Theatre & Dance and Department of Screen Arts & Cultures, the Ann Arbor District Library, and the Neutral Zone.

CMENAS Colloquium Film Screening. Rachel (September 25, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/42809 42809-9661748@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, September 25, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

Please join us for a screening of the film, "Rachel," a 2009 documentary film by Simone Bitton detailing the death of Rachel Corrie. Rachel was an American peace activist, killed by an Israeli military bulldozer in 2003 during a nonviolent action against the demolition of Palenstinians homes in Rafah, Gaza.

Rachel is an in-depth cinematic investigation into the death of an unknown young girl, made with a rigor and scope normally reserved for first-rate historical characters. It gives voice to all the people involved in Rachel’s story, from Palestinian and foreign witnesses to Israeli military spokespersons and investigators, doctors, activists and soldiers linked to the affair. The film begins like a classic documentary, but soon develops, transcending its subject and transforming into a cinematographic meditation on youth, war, idealism, and political utopia. In the beginning, there is this: she was called Rachel Corrie. She was 23. She was convinced that her American nationality would be enough to make her an effective human shield, that her simple presence would save lives, olive trees, wells, and houses

The cities of Berlin and Detroit are full of amazing artists. Very much in the same way in which Berlin was regarded as the subcultural capital of the world some 15 or 20 years ago, when artists were flocking to it because of affordable space, bringing with them an incredible energy and of course many talents and abilities, you can feel a certain kind of energy when you travel to Detroit these days. It is rough and at the same time interesting and beautiful. Grimy and at the same time elegant and free. It is a place where devastation is still visible alongside new opportunities. Opportunities for artists, activists and resistance movements to help turn the city into the magnificent place it could be in order to make things better for all of its residents.

From September 11th to September 20th, 2016 artists from Berlin and Detroit, poets, emcees, singer/songwriters, beat producers, came together in Detroit in order to get to know one another and to create. During that period, they also visited the University of Michigan and ran workshops and Q&A sessions with our students. In June of 2017, they got back together, this time in Berlin in order to present what had been created in Detroit, including an album, music videos, and a documentary about the visit. For more information, please visit the project website at http://be-troit.com/, and the Be-Troit blog at http://gangway.de/en/betroit-blog-jugendaustausch-berlin-detroit-vom-11-24-9-2016/; a trailer for the documentary is at https://vimeo.com/215179507.

Now a delegation returns to present the amazing work that came out of this unique collaboration between Berlin- and Detroit-based artists. Please join us for a screening of Philip Halver’s inspiring documentary, artist performances, and a Q&A with BeTroit participants.

This event is free and open to the public.

If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact the Germanic department (germandept@umich.edu or 734-764-8018) at least 4 days in advance. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for U-M to arrange.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Middle Eastern and North African Studies

Please join us for a screening of "Five Broken Cameras." An extraordinary work of both cinematic and political activism, "5 Broken Cameras" is a deeply personal, first-hand account of non-violent resistance in Bil'in, a West Bank village threatened by encroaching Israeli settlements.

Shot almost entirely by Palestinian farmer Emad Burnat, who bought his first camera in 2005 to record the birth of his youngest son, the footage was later turned into a galvanizing cinematic experience by co-directors Guy Davidi and Burnat.

Structured around the violent destruction of a succession of Burnat's video cameras, the filmmakers' collaboration follows one family's evolution over five years of village turmoil. Burnat watches from behind the lens as olive trees are bulldozed, protests intensify, and lives are lost. "I feel like the camera protects me," he says, "but it's an illusion."

Location: North Quad
Organized By: School of Information

In conjunction with the UMSI Bicentennial Symposium on Friday, October 6, UMSI presents a special screening of a documentary film produced and self-funded by UMSI assistant professor Joyojeet Pal.

"For the Love of a Man follows" fans of 'superstar' Rajnikanth, whose fandom often becomes integral to their identities and those of people around them. The visual ethic of fandom and star mimicry reveal a form of star worship that is unique to Indian cinema culture. The lives of fans and their families open us to themes of brotherhood, aspiration, political affiliation, or even just means of being noticed. From bankruptcies to reformations from lives of crime, the lives of the fans offer stories that range from the heroic to the horrific, all in a day's work of turning a film star into a deity.

For the Love of a Man premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September 2015, and was shown at the Mumbai and Dubai Film Festivals of 2015.

ASP Film Screening | 3 Weeks in Yerevan (October 4, 2017 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/43144 43144-9728912@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 4, 2017 7:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Armenian Studies

In this heartwarming comedy, two filmmakers (Armen and Raffi), from Los Angeles, go to Armenia to shoot a feature length movie about a third generation American Armenian who goes to Yerevan to adopt a 12-year old child. Teaming up with a local impresario (Rubo), the crew begins the arduous task of casting for the parts, scouting locations and securing the last leg of the funding. What seems to be a perfect plan becomes a perfect storm of absurd meetings, unexpected discoveries and hysterical events, which come together to sabotage the project.

The Minister of Culture, the chief of police, the director of Hyefilm Studios, the oligarch…They all offer to help, and yet all of them have their conditions – changing the plot of the script, adopting it to another period, casting a relative for a part, and ultimately a proposal to turn the simple, touching story into a biopic of an oligarch.

The chemistry between Rubo, Armen, and Raffi creates an amazing hilarity, and their journey to realize their dream brings them face to face with some colorful characters, fantastic situations, and beautiful backdrops.

Two mega-stars Deng Chao and Eddie Peng were starred in this dramedy. Maggie Lee (Variety) praised the film as being “sprinkled with witty grace notes and crowd-pleasing without being too ingratiating or idiotic.” The Chinese title 乘风破浪 means “Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves.” In this time-traveling crime film, a son attempts to reconcile with his father while he travels time back to the year 1998, when his estranged father was young. Some fateful events allow him to experience his father’s life in the past.

Sponsored by the Confucius Institute and Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies at U-M, "Electric Shadows: 2017 Contemporary Chinese Film Series" will feature six exciting Chinese films released in recent years.

CSAS Lecture Series | Film Screening and discussion of Khoon diy Baarav (Blood Leaves its Trail) (November 2, 2017 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/41932 41932-9495452@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 2, 2017 4:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

The film Khoon Diy Baarav enters the vexed political scenario in Kashmir through the lives of families of the victims of enforced disappearances. In an enforced disappearance people literally disappear, from their loved ones and their community, when state officials (or someone acting with state consent) grab them from the street or from their homes and then deny it, or refuse to say where they are.Today it is recognized as a crime under international law. The film is a non-sequential account of personal narratives and reminiscences ruptured by violence. Made over nine years it explores memory as a mode of resistance, constantly confronting and morphing - from the personal to political, individual to collective. The film looks at the ways in which those affected by violence have no choice but to remember.

The screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker, Iffat Fatima.

Iffat Fatima is an independent documentary filmmaker and researcher from Kashmir, based in Delhi. Since 2006 she is working in Kashmir on the issue of enforced disappearances in collaboration with the Association Of Parents Of Disappeared Persons (APDP), a collective of the family members of the victims of enforced disappearances in Kashmir campaigning for information on the whereabouts of their disappeared kin. In 2011, she made a short film Where Have You Hidden My New Crescent Moon on enforced disappearances. Her most recent film Khoon Diy Baarav (Blood Leaves its Trail) explores issues of violence and memory in Kashmir.

She very recently did the audio visual design for an exhibition Gold Dust Of Begum Sultans (19 April -10th May 2016) at The Indira Gandhi National Centre for The Arts , New Delhi. In 2015 she co-edited a compendium Bread Beauty Revolution, Khwaja Ahmad Abbas (1914-1987). In 2004, she completed a Fellowship, Recasting Reconciliation through Culture and the Arts, at the Brandeis University, Boston, USA. In 2001, she was awarded the Asia Fellowship for her work in Sri Lanka, Inter-communal Relations and Education: The Sri Lankan Experience.

Her films include, Lanka- the other side of war and peace, on the history of overlapping conflicts in Sri Lanka; The Kesar Saga, on storytelling in Ladakh; In the Realm of the Visual, on one of India’s most prolific and versatile artist and designer, Dashrath Patel; Boojh Sakey to Boojh, on the contemporary understanding of the thirteenth-century Sufi poet and scholar Amir Khusro. Her video installation, Ethnography of a European city: Conversations in Salzburg, questions some of the assumptions in the east vs. west polarity/ dichotomy /disparity.

Cosponsored by the Donia Human Rights Center.

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Center for Armenian Studies

"Coming Full Circle" is a collective version of three documentaries produced by "Versus" studio on the Great Repatriation of Armenians (1946-49): "My Unfamiliar Fatherland" (2012), "Oh, Fatherland, Cold and Sweet" (2016), "The Last Dream or Game Over" (2017). "Coming Full Circle" provides a unique perspective on the experiences of Armenian immigrants from the Middle East, Europe and America to the Soviet Union. Enthusiastic about their return to Soviet Armenia, these people often experienced exclusion and persecutions during the Cold War periods of Stalinism, the Khrushchev thaw and the Brezhnev stagnation. Based on more than one hundred oral interviews and eyewitness accounts of repatriation conducted in Armenia, US, France, Russia and Lebanon, as well as newsreels, photos, and numerous historical documents, this documentary bears witness to the lived experiences of the repatriates beyond the Iron Curtain.

Free and open to public.

"Sins Invalid" (November 14, 2017 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/43953 43953-9855245@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 14, 2017 5:00pm
Location: 202 S. Thayer
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

U-M Professor Petra Kuppers will introduce the film, including a short reading from her new book "Theatre & Disability," followed by the film screening, open discussion, and a book signing.

This 33-minute documentary explores Sins Invalid, a performance project that incubates and celebrates artists with disabilities, centralizing artists of color and queer and gender-variant artists as communities who have been historically marginalized. The performance work explores the themes of sexuality, embodiment and the disabled body. Conceived and led by disabled people of color, they develop and present cutting-edge work where normative paradigms of "normal" and "sexy" are challenged, offering instead a vision of beauty and sexuality inclusive of all individuals and communities. "Sins Invalid" is as an entryway into the absurdly taboo topic of sexuality and disability, manifesting a new paradigm of disability justice.

Petra Kuppers, U-M professor of English language and literature, women's studies, art, and theater and drama, is a community performance artist and a disability culture activist.

Girl Up Michigan is hosting a FREE film screening of the 2015 documentary "He Named Me Malala" by Davis Guggenheim as part of our advocacy efforts as a local chapter of Girl Up, a United Nations Foundation. 

The documentary follows the events leading up to the Taliban's attack on Malala Yousafzai and the after-effects of that attack, including Malala's continued activist work and her speech to the United Nations. Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist known for her human rights advocacy, especially education of women in Pakistan where, in her village, the local Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school. Her advocacy has now grown into an international movement and Malala has become the youngest Nobel Prize laureate to date!

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: African Studies Center

Directed by Ron Mulvihill and Kelly Askew
Produced by Kelly Askew
Edited by Ian Klipa
Languages: Maa, Swahili
Subtitles: English
Date: 2017

In Maasai culture of East Africa, roles and responsibilities are assigned according to age and gender. While the transition to warriorhood has been heavily documented, other aspects of the life cycle remain largely unexplored. Orkiteng Loorbaak: Rite of Elders follows Frank ole Kaipai, chairman of Lesoit village, Tanzania, as he undergoes the rite of passage to become an elder. While his household prepares for the ceremony—cooking, re-plastering the homes, completing jewelry for adornment, and making ready for the arrival of guests—Frank reunites with his age-set mates. He selects one to be his blood brother (ng’udiai) for the ritual and for the rest of their lives. A highlight of the ceremony is their vows to protect each other and their community, performed over a ritual branch. All night long people dance, sing, with men reveling in tales of their time as warriors. At dawn, a white bull is sacrificed to cleanse Frank of the sins of his youth. Women are critical to the ceremony, and Frank’s mother is honored for bringing him into the world. The ritual confirms Frank’s status as an elder and allows him to shepherd his children through their coming rites of passage to adulthood.

Women create only 3% of tech startups, receive less than 10% of venture capital funding and run only 4% of Fortune 500 companies.

"The time is long overdue to encourage more women to dream the impossible dream." -Sheryl Sandberg

She Started It follows five young women over two years as they pitch VCs, build teams, bring products to market, fail and start again.

The documentary takes viewers on a global roller coaster ride from San Francisco to Mississippi, France and Vietnam. Along the way, it weaves in big-picture perspectives from women like investor Joanne Wilson; White House CTO Megan Smith; GoldieBlox CEO Debbie Sterling; and Ruchi Sanghvi, the first female engineer at Facebook.

Help us inspire the next generation to dream bigger, and urge today’s generation to support women entrepreneurs.

World AIDS Day: Alternate Endings, Radical Beginnings (December 1, 2017 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46540 46540-10546809@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, December 1, 2017 6:00pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

Join us for a screening of Visual AIDS’ "Alternate Endings, Radical Beginnings," a series of new video works by seven contemporary artists—Mykki Blanco, Cheryl Dunye (with Ellen Spiro), Reina Gossett, Thomas Allen Harris, Kia Labeija, Tiona McClodden and Brontez Purnell— that prioritize Black narratives within the ongoing AIDS epidemic.

In spite of the impact of HIV/AIDS within Black communities, these stories and experiences are often excluded from larger artistic and historical narratives. In 2016, African Americans represented 44% of all new HIV diagnoses in the United States. Given this context, it is increasingly urgent to feature a myriad of stories that consider and represent the lives of those housed within this statistic. "Alternate Endings, Radical Beginnings" seeks to highlight the voices of those that are marginalized within broader Black communities nationwide, including queer and trans folks.

Curated by Erin Christovale and Vivian Crockett for Visual AIDS, "Alternate Endings, Radical Beginnings" is the 28th iteration of Visual AIDS’ longstanding Day With(out) Art project. The commissioned projects include intimate meditations of young HIV positive protagonists; a consideration of community-based HIV/AIDS activism in the South; explorations of the legacies and contemporary resonances within AIDS archives; a poetic journey through New York exploring historical traces of queer and trans life, and more. Together, the videos provide a platform centering voices deeply impacted by the ongoing epidemic.

Discussion to follow with Bré Campbell, Founder of the Trans Sistas of Color Project, Leon Golson, Director of Prevention Programs for Unified HIV Health and Beyond in Ypsilanti, MI; and Demario Longmire, a recent U-M graduate with a degree in Linguistics, LGBTQ Studies and Intergroup Relations who is currently a Health Corps Fellow working with communities affected by HIV/AIDS in Washington, D.C.

Presented by the UMMA Student Engagement Council and co-sponsored by the U-M Spectrum Center. Additional partners include the U-M Center for Sexuality & Health Disparities, Trans Sistas of Color Project, and Unified HIV Health and Beyond.

Student programming at UMMA is generously supported by the University of Michigan Credit Union Arts Adventures Program, UMMA's Lead Sponsor for Student and Family Engagement.

Organized By: African Studies Center

Ty Dickason, 82, is a cowboy in remote Patagonia, Argentina. He has never flown in a plane, and yet he speaks a language from a country 7,000km to the east. He is part of a 114-year-old Afrikaans community – a culture only found in South Africa.

In southern Africa, after a devastating war with the British, the Boers (“farmers”) sailed across the Atlantic to start a new life in freedom in 1902. They headed into the arid heart of Patagonia, a land that reminded them of home.

Today, their descendants still endure in this harsh place. They speak archaic Afrikaans and sing old folk songs. But despite the fierce pride in their roots, less than 50 of the oldest still speak their mother tongue. They struggle to keep their culture alive but are resigned to knowing that they are the last generation to speak the language in the region. It is a parallel world of Afrikaans society, separate from the Apartheid policies that intervened in South Africa, giving a unique glimpse into what might have been.

The film focuses on a family, the Dickasons, who have a deep yearning to see the land of their ancestors. They travel back to Africa for the first time to meet their distant family – and their ideas of home, culture and belonging will never be the same.

"Crumbs" is the David versus Goliath story of Imraahn Mukaddam, the lone bread distributor who blew the whistle on price collusion within the South African bread industry. The documentary explores the personal and financial turmoil Imraahn faces in wrestling the corporate food machine in a quest for social justice. Together with fellow activists and a tiny legal team, Imraahn is pitted against the bread companies' army of attorneys. While the mighty bread companies side-step the filmmakers, he champions the cause of the disenfranchised in a Constitutional Court bid to launch the first ever class action lawsuit in South African history.

The screening will be followed by an Q&A with the director, Richard F. Gregory.

Kim Sa-bok (Song Kang-ho) is an impatient taxi driver and the clueless father of a 11-year-old girl, Eun-sung (Yoo Eun-mi).
Four months behind in paying his rent, he unwillingly accepts to take the German journalist Jürgen Hinzpeter (Thomas Kretschmann) all the way from Seoul to Gwangju, besieged by the military so that he could capture the student rebellion and the brutal repression ordered by Chun Doo-hwan.

Director Jang Hoon (The Front Line, 2011) masterfully narrates the personal journey of the taxi driver from a selfish man to a politically awakened citizen.

Location: Hatcher Graduate Library
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

As part of the university's honoring of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years 1984 - 1992
MONDAY JANUARY 15, 2018
6:00 pm Hatcher Library Gallery

Audre Lorde’s incisive, often-angry, always brilliant writings and speeches defined and inspired the US-American feminist, lesbian, African-American, and Women-of-Color movements of the 1970s and 1980s. Audre Lorde - the Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 documents an untold chapter of Lorde’s life: her influence on the German political and cultural scene during a decade of profound social change. The film explores the importance of Lorde’s legacy, as she encouraged Afro-Germans—who, at that time, had no name or space for themselves—to make themselves visible within a culture that until then had kept them isolated and silent.

The film chronicles Lorde’s empowerment of Afro-German women to write and to publish, as she challenged white women to acknowledge the significance of their white privilege and to deal with difference in constructive ways. Previously unreleased archive material as well as present-day interviews explore the lasting influence of Lorde’s ideas on Germany and the impact of her work and personality. For the first time, Dagmar Schultz’s personal archival video- and audio-recordings reveal a significant part of the private Audre Lorde as well as her agenda—to rouse Afro-Germans to recognize each other.

Me, The "Other" Film (January 15, 2018 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48616 48616-11259465@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, January 15, 2018 7:00pm
Location: Michigan Theather
Organized By: Maize Pages Student Organizations

Me, The “Other” World Premiere on January 15th, 2018 at 7:00 PM at The Michigan Theater in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. We set out to tell stories of differences due to prejudice, ignorance, and discrimination and found “otherness” is never one thing. From three colleges in Washtenaw County in Southeast Michigan come the narratives of twelve students whose lives are shaped by the perceptions of others and whose spell-binding stories of struggle and triumph reveal the resilience of the human spirit.

Me, the “Other” is more than a film. It is the centerpiece of a platform for creating conversations about “otherness” and about what connects us and divides us through the documentary, as well as social media, the website, short films and conversations in local communities. We hope to see you there! Watch the Trailer here. Tickets are $5.00 (No ID required). Purchase your ticket here. To learn more about the Film, click here.

Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

Continuing on the path of the miscommunication-filled romance we saw last year in the Korea Cinema NOW screening of Right Now, Wrong Then, director Hong Sang-soo brings us what could be interpreted as a self-confession and explanation of the affair with the main actress Kim Min-hee.
Here, she plays the role of a disillusioned young actress Young-hee, visiting her friend Jee-young (Seo Young-hwa) in Germany. Young-hee is recovering from the end of an affair with a married film-maker and she discusses her scandalous relationship wandering in the winter weather and visiting friends.

Once back in Korea, she walks the lonely beaches of Gangneung and discusses the right to her choices and the harm she’s done to other people.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: African Studies Center

These five 10-minutes films will show the ways in which Berlin and Detroit are global from the perspectives of African immigration, and African imaginations of global futures. Berlin helps to elucidate what is distinctive about Detroit and vise versa. These films picture the distinctions between how African futures can be imagined in Europe versus the U.S., in Detroit versus Berlin. They reveal how race, citizenship, and humanitarian projects work in relation to African immigration in these two cities. They ask: What difference do the approaches to urban planning, districting, education, and social versus capital networks make? What kinds of communities can be formed? How do “Africans’’ relate to “Blackness’’ versus “foreignness’’ in both cities? What difference does it make to live in the city when one is a noncitizen?

Following the films showcase will be a Q&A with Damani Partridge, the project lead, and the filmmakers from Freedom House in Detroit: Ajara Hamidatu Alghali, Hawlaane Noor Frances Sarr-Robbins, Whitney Smith, and Fatou-Seydi Singhiam Sarr.

Reception to follow.

Director Yoon Ga-eun’s first feature film brings us to the world of elementary school children in South Korea and the social issues related.

The main character is an introverted 11-year-old girl named Seon (Choi Soo-in) who struggles to be accepted by her classmates and finds an unexpected opportunity to make a new friend with the arrival of a new student Ji-ah (Seol Hye-in).

The two bond very fast but the differences in their family backgrounds eventually emerge bringing the two apart.

“Delicately paced and absorbing throughout, Yoon’s film never takes things to an extreme, but it soon becomes clear that the pressures these children face are not limited to the school grounds” https://www.screendaily.com/reviews/the-world-of-us-berlin-review/5100243.article

A few months later she discovers a dead body of her neighbour, a poacher. The only traces leading to the mysterious death are those of roe deer hooves around the house…

Rajko Grlić, director. In Croatian with English subtitles (93 min., 2016).

Four very different people live in the same building but avoid each other because of differences in how they live their lives, what they believe in, and where they come from. They would probably never exchange a word, but misfortune pushes them towards each other. Their lives entangle in ways that profoundly challenge deep-held beliefs and prejudices surrounding material status, sexual orientation, nationality, and religion. Slowly, and even painfully, they begin to open up to each other and recognize the essential humanity each of them possesses.

"A thrilling and inspiring true story begins at the precipice of World War II as, within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman) must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history."

Sri Lanka 1983, Jude Ratnam is five years old. On a red train, he flees the massacre of the Tamils instigated by the Pro-Sinhalese majoritarian government. Now a filmmaker, he takes the same train from South to North.

As he advances, the traces of the violence of the 26-year-old war and the one which turned the Tamil's fight for freedom into a self-destructive terrorism pass before his eyes.

Reminiscing the hidden souvenirs of fighters and Tamil Tigers, he unveils the repressed memories of his compatriots, opening the door to a new era and making peace possible again.

DEMONS IN PARADISE is the result of ten years of work. For the first time, a Tamil documentary filmmaker living in Sri Lanka is seeing the Civil war from the inside.

Jude Ratnam worked for an NGO before becoming a filmmaker. He obtained a degree in sociology and psychology from the University of Kamaraj in southern India, before studying cinema at the School of Media Art and Managment in Sri Lanka. In 2006, he left his post at the NGO, no longer able to bear the hypocrisy of a job consisting in preaching reconciliation while civil war still raged, and the country was violently divided and impoverished. He spent months thinking about how to reach the greatest number of people in an intimate yet political way. How could he tap into the emotions as well as the minds of his compatriots? His love for cinema suddenly made it seem obvious: He had to make films. It was this intuition that gave him the courage to commit to a project for 10 years, despite the risks involved. He trained and had the backing of a French team (his co-writer Isabelle Marina introduced him to the producer Julie Paratian), along with some Tamil and Sinhalese partners, since his aim was to put into practice a dialog of reconciliation during the actual shoot. On his way, he met some key gures who each, in their own way, gave him the strength to carry on: Tue Steen Muller, director of European Documentary Network; Ally Derks of the IDFA BERTHA FUND;
 Raoul Peck, president of the Fémis film school, when he attended the ARCHIDOC workshop; director Rithy Panh, his inspiration;
 the founder of ARTE’s Documentary Unit, Thierry Garrel; and Christian Jeune and Thierry Frémaux, who selected his film for the Festival de Cannes.
 Jude Ratnam is also a film critic and cofounder of the Colombo Film Circle, and manager of the KRITI-A Work of Art production company, which coproduced Demons In Paradise. He is currently working on 
some new film projects in Sri Lanka.

V.V. (Sugi) Ganeshananthan, a fiction writer and journalist, is the author of Love Marriage (Random House, 2008). The novel, which is set in Sri Lanka and some of its diaspora communities, was long-listed for the Orange Prize and named one of Washington Post Book World’s Best of 2008. Her work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic Monthly, The Washington Post, Columbia Journalism Review, The San Francisco Chronicle, Himal Southasian, and The American Prospect, among others. A former vice president of the South Asian Journalists Association, she has also served on the board of the Asian American Writers’ Workshop. She is a contributing editor for Copper Nickel and Jaggery, a founding member of Lanka Solidarity, and a member of the board of directors of The American Institute for Sri Lankan Studies. The recipient of fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Radcliffe Institute of Advanced Study at Harvard, and the American Academy in Berlin, among others, she is at work on a second novel, excerpts of which have appeared in Granta, Ploughshares, and Best American Nonrequired Reading 2014. She is on the board of the American Institute of Sri Lankan Studies, and is a founding member of Lanka Solidarity. In 2014, she concluded a five-year stint as the Delbanco Visiting Professor of Creative Writing at the Helen Zell Writers’ Program at the University of Michigan. In the fall of 2015, she began teaching in the MFA program at the University of Minnesota.

Suzy Lake: Playing with Time
Annette Mangaard
2014, 62:00 minutes, colour, English

A feature length documentary on photographer Suzy Lake, one of the seminal feminist artists to evolve out of the heyday of the 1960’s. A master of the art of self-portraiture, Lake influenced Cindy Sherman as well as a host of other female photographers. Lake makes art that addresses politics, gender and issues of youth, beauty and aging while reflecting on her own journey through time. Interviews with Lucy Lippard, Connie Butler, Mary Beth Edelson, Françoise Sullivan, Martha Wilson, Barbara Astman and Lisa Steele tell a story of how much has changed in the worlds of feminism and art and yet how much things remain the same.

Born in 1947 in Detroit, Michigan, Lake became active in the civil rights and anti-war movement in the 1960’s. In 1968, after witnessing the Detroit uprisings, she was part of a large wave of Americans who moved to Canada due to their opposition to the Vietnam War. She ended up in Montreal where she joined the burgeoning artistic community. It was the time of ‘Conceptual Art’, ‘Body Art’ and ‘Performance Art’, all movements informed by the politics of liberation, feminism and the anti-war movement. A former model and mime, Lake became involved in performances for audiences, often documented by photographs and videos. She found that performing for the camera, rather than live audiences, gave her the control required to develop her artistic voice.

For Lake, identity is mutable, contextual and politicized. Today, Suzy Lake continues to explore the politics of gender with work that deals with the aging woman, countering notions of consumer beauty with a different and real image celebrating stamina, maturity and experience.

Ann Arbor Film Festival presents: Feelings Are Facts: The Life of Yvonne Rainer (March 7, 2018 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/49485 49485-11464938@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 7, 2018 5:30pm
Location: Museum of Art
Organized By: University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)

This program is free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served.

“The function of art is to shake us out of our complacency and comfort,” says Yvonne Rainer, whose avant-garde performances and films have agitated audiences for 50 years. Since co-founding New York’s influential Judson Dance Theater, Rainer’s boundary-crossing art has been labeled in many ways: feminist, conceptual, post-modern, political. 'Feelings Are Facts: The Life of Yvonne Rainer' (2015, Written and Directed by Jack Walsh, 82 min) examines the contradictions and creativity of this remarkable provocateur—still performing at age 80—and raises the question, what does it mean to be an avant-garde artist today?

Yvonne Rainer exploded onto the performance scene in the early 1960s, a protégé of John Cage and Merce Cunningham, boldly pursuing a minimalist aesthetic, using everyday, often random movements that confounded critics. At Judson, she collaborated with the rule-breaking artists of her generation: Robert Rauschenberg, Trisha Brown, Steve Paxton, Lucinda Childs, and Meredith Monk. With foundational works like “Trio A,” Rainer radically altered the vocabulary of modern dance forever.

In the 1970s, Rainer turned from performance to filmmaking, bringing both humorous storytelling and dense theory to seven independent features. As she investigated subjects like political power, terrorism, lesbian sexuality, and breast cancer, the labels again poured forth. Were her films “difficult” or “accessible?” Funny or frustrating? After 25 years of filmmaking and encouraged by dancers including Mikhail Baryshnikov, Rainer, in her 60s, returned to choreography once again to make courageous, unpredictable dances. 'Feelings Are Facts' presents Rainer from her revolutionary roots to her tireless current explorations, breaking rules and challenging audiences no matter what decade she finds herself in.

Following the film, University of Michigan professors will discuss their reflections on the film. Participants include moderator Peter Sparling, Rudolf Arnheim Distinguished Professor of Dance and Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Dance; with panelists Diane Kirkpatrick, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Art History Emerita; Jessica Fogel, Professor of Dance; and Holly Hughes, Professor of Art and Design and Theatre & Drama.

This special presentation is brought to you by The Ann Arbor Film Festival, University of Michigan Museum of Art, and University of Michigan Dance Department.

This is a rare opportunity to view several short films from Kentridge's landmark series, which are normally only shown in museums.

This screening forms part of the interdisciplinary course Personal, Present and Immediate*: Making Performance on Socio-Political Questions, and is open to the public. A post-screening discussion will be moderated by Artist in Residence and Visiting Professor Eryn Rosenthal.

Note: These films include depictions of violence and nudity.

Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

A blockbuster by former stuntman Jung Byung-gil (Confession of Murder 2012), the film feels like a first- person video game: “The camera whips to each new target with the assurance of someone who knows all the combinations, and has instinctive, practiced access to every code and cheat.”

The main character is an assassin (Kim Ok-bin) trying to escape her violent world, thrilling action-scene after action-scene, interspersed with some romance with her neighbor Hyun-soo Jung (Joon Sung).

CMENAS & LACS Filmscreening. Crayons of Askalan by Dr. Laila Hotait Salas (followed by Q&A with the filmmaker) (March 13, 2018 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50099 50099-11642047@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 13, 2018 2:30pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

Film Description: This creative hybrid documentary is based on the true story about the Palestinian artist Zuhdi Al Adawi, who in 1975 at the age of just 15 years was convicted to 15 years' imprisonment, which he served in the Israeli high-security prison Askalan. It was only thanks to the help of his fellow inmates and their families that he managed to survive mentally. Colour crayons that were smuggled in became his only contact with the outside world - not through letters, but through his distressed and allegorical drawings, which are brought to life in partially animated sequences.

Filmmaker Bio: Laila Hotait Salas, Ph.D, is a Lebanese-Spanish filmmaker and artist. Her academic work deals with Arab contemporary cinema and its filmmakers.

Her sound art works have been presented at international venues such as the Centre Pompidou, the Kunst-im-Tunnel Museum Düsseldorf and several art galleries. Hotait was selected by the CPH:LAB as an international emerging film talent in 2011. Her work has received support from institutions including the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture, the Sundance Documentary Fund Program, Screen Institute Beirut and the Doha Film Institute and is currently developing a feature film that was selected by Cine Qua Non Lab residency program.

Organized By: Center for Armenian Studies

Aram and Virginia, an Armenian couple from the diaspora, transmit an ancestral tradition of chant which is in danger of disappearing to a troupe of European actors. During the process of creating a new play, the couple takes the company on a trip to Anatolia (also known as Asia Minor, bounded by the Black Sea to the north, South Caucasus and Iran to the east, the Mediterranean Sea to the south and the Aegean Sea and Sea of Marmara to the west) where the Armenian civilization has been destroyed. Along the way, the questioning of the actors brings to the forefront the wealth of this culture: the chant becomes a language of creation and sharing, the breath of life. It is a journey where the sounds, the music, the words, the bodies and the cries impart a memory and a future.

Organized By: Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies

As the profile of Ibero-American cinema, the Spanish- and Portuguese-language films of Latin America, continues to rise on the festival circuit, a strong commitment to experimentation remains in the cinema emanating from the region. First-rate film schools in Cuba, Argentina, and Mexico, among other nations, are producing a new generation of filmmakers who eschew the proliferation of digital techniques, returning to tactical analog modes of production (This program features work made on Video8, Super 8, 16mm, Super 35mm, and VHS). Playing with notions of self-reflexivity and nostalgia, real and imagined, these filmmakers test the boundaries of both narrative and documentary genres. Showcasing the diverse voices of these talented young artists, each of the six films highlight the vision and ingenuity of Ibero-America. These shorts have screened at Cannes, Toronto International Film Festival, and New York Film Festival, along with strong Latin American showcases such as the Morelia, Mar del Plata, Valdivia, and Havana film festivals. Curated by Josh Gardner of Cinema Lamont, Detroit.

The Irresistible Joy of Film: The Early Works of Karpo Godina (March 24, 2018 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50678 50678-11847617@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Saturday, March 24, 2018 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

The late Sixties and early Seventies were years of prosperity and unexpected freedom in Yugoslavia, with exploration, growth, fabulous art, and incredible films (later dubbed The Black Wave) that opposed official socialist-realist production. In this brief period, Karpo Godina stood up as an exceptional director of photography, collaborating with Želimir Žilnik (whose Early Works Godina shot and edited) and Dušan Makavejev on their first features. At the same time, he explored the possibilities and limitations of cinema in his own films. The still, almost rigid camera, each frame a perfectly composed photograph that suddenly comes alive; the beauty of editing; and the use of music—each element creates an unabashed sense of overpowering joy. A hidden, titillating joy one feels when discovering any truly beautiful, exceptionally simple and profoundly deep work of art—and an irresistible urge to laugh a liberating laugh. These films, subversive and optimistic, slightly ironic and never cynical, celebrate life in socialist Yugoslavia while mocking the ideological rigidity of the ruling party. Shot all across Yugoslavia, they represent the best of Yugoslav cinema of the time.

This screening is part of the Ann Arbor Film Festival. For additional details and ticket information, visit https://www.aafilmfest.org/.

Tremor (March 25, 2018 2:15pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/50088 50088-11633665@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, March 25, 2018 2:15pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

in German, Italian, Dutch, Icelandic, French & Lomongo

TREMOR is driven by the voices that run through it – the voices of poets and madmen, of a mother or a child. From self-reflexive thoughts to spontaneous accounts, from witness statements to pure fiction, they talk in turns about their experience of violence and war. As we listen to them, our gaze is taken to places and scarred landscapes impossible to locate. Noises from elsewhere filter through. The image becomes distorted and porous. Music starts to play. The film lingers over the presence of a pianist, before diffracting again... TREMOR is a sensory journey between memory and nightmare. An act of resistance.

Aspiring to an easy job as personal physician to a wealthy family, Noboru Yasumoto (Yûzô Kayama) is disappointed when his first post after medical school takes him to a small country clinic under the gruff doctor Red Beard (Toshirô Mifune). Yasumoto rebels in numerous ways, but Red Beard proves a wise and patient teacher.
