DIRT (October 9, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99226 99226-21797744@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Sunday, October 9, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Film, Television, and Media

The ongoing debate over undocumented immigrants to the U.S. is effectively dramatized in Nancy Savoca’s 2004 Showtime film DIRT. The life of Savoca’s heroine, Dolores, a Salvadorian maid living in Queens, is disrupted once again when her boss of nine years, Mrs. Ortega, fires her when she decides to run for Congress on an anti-immigration platform.

Savoca showcases an entire underclass of immigrants and portrays their personal struggles in a respectful yet often comedic manner that creates great empathy beyond the sensationalist newspaper headlines. VARIETY called the film “an audience grabber as tightly condensed and emotionally resonant as its title” and added that the “film zings along with an energy, determination and spirit that are anything but depressing.”

Directed and co-written by FTVM's John H. Mitchell Visiting Professor in Media Entertainment, Nancy Savoca, who will be in attendance for an introduction and Q & A.

CSAS Film Series | *We are not your Monkeys*, *Sanctum Santorum*, *In the Name Of God* (October 12, 2022 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98300 98300-21796461@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 12, 2022 7:30pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

*In the Name Of God* focuses on the campaign waged by Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) to destroy a 16th century mosque in Ayodhya said to have been built by Babur, the first Mughal Emperor of India. The VHP claimed the mosque was built at the birthplace of the Hindu god Ram and was determined to build a new temple on the same site. This controversial issue led to religious riots that cost thousands their lives and culminated in the mosque's destruction. The resulting religious violence spread throughout India and Pakistan leaving more than 5,000 dead, and causing thousands to flee their homes. Filmed before the mosque's demolition, *In the Name of God* examines the motivations which would ultimately lead to the drastic actions, as well as the efforts of secular Indians to combat religious intolerance. Preceded by two short music videos, *We are not your Monkeys* and *Sanctum Santorum*.

"The screen is electric with religious fervor, masses of people swarming through the streets, gathering in rallies, or violently rioting... This is investigative cinema verité documentary at its dynamic best." - Kay Armatage, Toronto Film Festival

Anand Patwardhan, India’s leading documentary filmmaker, is known for his socio-political, award-winning films. He has spent decades capturing Mumbai’s slum dwellers, the reality of the caste system, the rise of Hindu nationalism, and tensions between India and Pakistan. He is a member of the Oscar academy, and his films have earned more than 20 international awards.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

*Diamonds by the Decade:* The Best of CJS 75th Anniversary Film Series | A Night of Madness: *A Page of Madness* with benshi Nanako Yamauchi and Little Bang Theory (October 13, 2022 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98536 98536-21796883@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 13, 2022 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

*A Page of Madness* is one of the greatest avant-garde films in history. It was directed by Teinosuke Kinugasa in 1926, and lost for nearly half a century. The story, by Nobel laureate Yasunari Kawabata, centers on a janitor at the insane asylum that holds his wife. Long considered a lost film, director Teinosuke Kinugasa thankfully found a negative in his garden storehouse in the 1970s.

Japanese benshi Nanako Yamauchi will narrate the film and Detroit area trio Little Bang Theory (Frank Pahl, Terri Sarris, and Doug Shimmin) will perform an original score written by Frank Pahl on toy and hand-made instruments.

Book your free tickets with the Michigan Theater here: https://myumi.ch/9P1en

Curated by Markus Nornes.

Cosponsored by the U-M Department of Film, Television, and Media.

Nanako Yamauchi
Nanako Yamauchi is a graduate of the Film Department at Nihon University, the oldest film school in Japan. She began studying the art of the benshi under Sawato Midori in 2010, performing for Matsuda Film Productions’ Friends of Silent Film Appreciation, various film festivals and the National Film Archive of Japan. In 2021 and 2022, Yamauchi was a supervising editor for Nasuno Mayuka’s manga about benshi entitled *Ray—A Taisho Era Cinema Story*.

Frank Pahl
As François Couture notes, Frank Pahl is "a true original, composer/musician/sound artist [spending] his musical career in the underground, amassing a small cult following. He charms his public with lovely avant-garde melodies played on an impressive array of neglected acoustic instruments and homemade automatons." His band Little Bang Theory, with Terri Sarris and Doug Shimmin, uses toy instruments to perform sophisticated and touching original scores.

Terri Sarris
Terri Sarris's creative work includes award-winning feature and short films (shot on 16mm, Super 8mm film, and digital media), film and television scripts, and work as a curator, film festival board member and festival juror in the larger media community, as well as performances in dance and music. Over three decades she helped build U-M's Department of Film, TV and Media Studies into a major presence in moving image media production and study.

Doug Shimmin
Doug Shimmin has been banging, strumming and singing his way around the metro Detroit area for more than 30 years. As a founding member of the award-winning, multi-ethnic group Immigrant Suns, Doug left behind his punk new wave flavors for the old world. After a great run of touring and performances, he sat down at a tiny table of toy instruments with friends Frank Pahl and Terri Sarris. From there they created Little Bang Theory, and it’s been miniature magic ever since.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Barger Leadership Institute

On Thursday, October 20, the BLI is hosting an in person screening of The Color of Care, followed by a conversation where we will discuss the film and talk about how we can mobilize to combat racism in healthcare with community leaders from New Detroit (Rebecca Irby), Packard Health (Oryanna Diem), and the School of Public Health (Becky Woolf).

The Color of Care chronicles how people of color suffer from systemically substandard healthcare. COVID-19 exposed what they have long understood and lived: they do not receive the same level of care. Produced by Ms. Winfrey’s Harpo Productions and directed by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning director Yance Ford, the film traces the origins of racial health disparities to practices that began during slavery and continue today. Using moving personal testimony, expert interviews, and disturbing data, the film reveals the impact of racism on health, serving as an urgent warning of what must be done to save lives.

A variety of Ukrainian films are shown monthly including:

Julia Blue (Film screening and meeting with filmmaker Roxy Toporowych) on Sunday, November 6, 2022 at the
State Theater, 233 State Street, downtown Ann Arbor

Awaiting a response from an esteemed Germany-based photography institute, Julia develops a special bond with a PTSD-ridden soldier from a war zone in post-revolution Ukraine

A 2017 Ukrainian war drama film about the Second Battle of Donetsk Airport during the war in Donbas.

October Film:
THE EARTH IS BLUE AS AN ORANGE
Thursday, October 20, 2022
6-8 PM in MLB Auditorium 3
(1st floor, Modern Language Building).

To cope with the daily trauma of living in a war-zone, Anna and her children are making a film together about their life in the most surreal surroundings. The creative process raises the question of what kind of impact cinema might have during times of disaster, and how to picture war through the camera’s lens. For Anna and the children, transforming trauma into a work of art is the ultimate way to stay human.
Director/ Script: Iryna Tsilyk, Ukraine
Producer: Anna Kapustina / Albatros Communicos, Ukraine
Producer: Giedrė Žickytė / Moonmakers, Lithuania

Winner of the Directing Award for World Cinema Documentary at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, THE EARTH IS AS BLUE AS AN ORANGE stands not only as a remarkable document of the Russo-Ukrainian War through the lens - literally - of this family's creative process, but as an optimistic testament to the power of art and beauty in the face of destruction.

Location: Detroit Observatory
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

On October 6, the Detroit Observatory will host a discussion of the discovery that the University's prized manuscript attributed to Galileo, which discusses his discovery of moons of Jupiter, is in fact a 20th-century forgery.  As a follow-up, join us on October 20 to learn more about the historical context of Galileo's astronomical accomplishments through a showing of the acclaimed documentary, The Moving Earth, by Danish film-maker Lars Becker-Larsen.  The Moving Earth (2009, 52 minutes, in English) recounts the history of early modern astronomy, focusing on five key figures: Tycho Brahe, Giordano Bruno, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei, and Isaac Newton.  Weaving together historical vignettes and scientific explanations, the movie locates key scientific advances within the biographies of its subjects and the religious, social and political developments of the time.

Following the film, we will offer relevant exhibits and tours of the historic Detroit Observatory with astronomical observing if weather permits.  In particular, Jupiter and its Galilean moons will be in view!

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

It's spooky season! On Monday, October 24, 6:30-9 pm, 2435 NQ the department's German Film Series will rise from the dead with a screening of Goodnight Mommy (German: Ich seh, Ich seh) from 2014, cosponsored by the Max Kade House.

Graduate student Luci Cook will offer a brief introduction to the film. A light meal will be served at 6:30 with the film screening to begin at 7:00 pm.

About the film:
From Austrian filmmaking duo Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala (The Lodge; The Field Guide to Evil) comes Goodnight Mommy, shot on 35mm. With eerie ambiance and lush cinematography, this slow-burning psychological thriller follows the story of 10-year-old identical twin brothers Elias and Lukas as they increasingly doubt­­––and investigate–their mother’s identity following her recent cosmetic surgery. Half family drama and half unnerving horror, Ich seh, Ich seh is sure to scare you, but above all will leave you thinking.

*Content note: brief but graphic violence related to torture.

*Diamonds by the Decade:* The Best of CJS 75th Anniversary Film Series | *Late Spring* (October 27, 2022 7:15pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/100204 100204-21799337@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 27, 2022 7:15pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

Tickets may be purchased at: https://myumi.ch/d9dJV

Shot in the wake of world war, *Late Spring* (*Banshun*) is one of Ozu’s most powerful films. It tells the story of a widowed father who feels compelled to marry off his beloved only daughter. Eminent Ozu players Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara command this poignant tale of love and loss in postwar Japan, which remains as potent today as ever—and a strong justification for its maker’s inclusion in the pantheon of cinema’s greatest directors.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

U-M FILM SERIES co-sponsored by the Asia Library and the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies

Admission is free and open to the public

Film screening (73 minutes) and Q&A with discussant Yan Zhong

Note: This is an in-person event. Please complete the ResponsiBLUE Screening before your arrival. Light refreshments will be provided.

People worldwide have seen the Disney animated classic Bambi and been deeply moved by the aesthetic renderings of nature and wildlife in the film. The pioneering artist behind this work is Tyrus Wong (1910-2016), one of the most gifted artists from the golden age of Disney animation. The quiet beauty of his Eastern-influenced paintings caught the eye of Walt Disney, who made Wong the inspirational sketch artist for Bambi.

Filmmaker Pamela Tom spotlights this seminal, but heretofore under-credited figure, showing how Tyrus overcame a life of poverty and racism to become a celebrated painter who once exhibited with Picasso and Matisse, became a Hollywood sketch artist, and has been recognized since 2001 as a “Disney Legend.” Previously unseen art and interviews, movie clips, and archival footage illustrate how his unique style – melding Chinese calligraphic and landscape influences with contemporary Western art – impacted many aspects of American art in the twentieth century.

Discussant: Yan Zhong
Yan Zhong is a lecturer at the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan. She has published multiple novels, essays, and books in Chinese and worked for four years as a literary editor at the Changchun Film Studio in China. Her research interests include Chinese pop culture (music and film), and she is currently working on a book project introducing the history and technical achievements of Chinese animation films.

CSAS Film Series | *A Narmada Diary*, *In Memory of Friends* (November 2, 2022 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98299 98299-21796460@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 2, 2022 7:30pm
Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

Co-directed with Simantini Dhuru, *A Narmada Diary* examines the Sardar Sarover dam in western India, a significant development project on the river Narmada's banks, which has been criticized as uneconomical and unjust, with costs borne by the rural poor.

When completed, the dam will drown 37,000 acres of fertile land, displace over 200,000 adivasis – the area's indigenous people, and cost up to 5 billion dollars.

*A Narmada Diary* introduces the Narmada Bachao Andolan (the Save Narmada Movement), which has spearheaded the resistance against the dam. As government resettlement programs prove inadequate, the Narmada Bachao Andolan has emerged as one of the most dynamic struggles in India today. With non-violent protests and a determination to drown rather than leave their homes and land, the people of the Narmada valley have become symbols of a global struggle against unjust development.

*In Memory of Friends *documents the violence in Punjab, India. After examining the political turmoil of the late 1970s and the rise of Sikh fundamentalism, the film concentrates on the legacy of Bhagat Singh, a young socialist hanged by the British in 1931 at age 23.

"That this perspicacity was present in a man of just 23 (Bhagat Singh) seems astonishing. It was all so impressive that Patwardhan could not but see him as a great intellectual apart from being an inexorable revolutionary." - Adrian Khare - Blitz

Anand Patwardhan, India’s leading documentary filmmaker, is known for his socio-political, award-winning films. He has spent decades capturing Mumbai’s slum dwellers, the reality of the caste system, the rise of Hindu nationalism, and tensions between India and Pakistan. He is a member of the Oscar academy, and his films have earned more than 20 international awards.

THE EARTH IS BLUE AS AN ORANGE
Thursday, October 20, 2022
6-8 PM in MLB Auditorium 3
(1st floor, Modern Language Building).

To cope with the daily trauma of living in a war-zone, Anna and her children are making a film together about their life in the most surreal surroundings. The creative process raises the question of what kind of impact cinema might have during times of disaster, and how to picture war through the camera’s lens. For Anna and the children, transforming trauma into a work of art is the ultimate way to stay human.
Director/ Script: Iryna Tsilyk, Ukraine
Producer: Anna Kapustina / Albatros Communicos, Ukraine
Producer: Giedrė Žickytė / Moonmakers, Lithuania

Winner of the Directing Award for World Cinema Documentary at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, THE EARTH IS AS BLUE AS AN ORANGE stands not only as a remarkable document of the Russo-Ukrainian War through the lens - literally - of this family's creative process, but as an optimistic testament to the power of art and beauty in the face of destruction.

Location: Modern Languages Building
Organized By: Center for South Asian Studies

Filmed over four tumultuous years in India, Pakistan, Japan, and the United States following nuclear tests in India, *War and Peace* is a journey of peace activism in the face of global militarism and war. The film is framed by the murder of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948, an act whose portent and poignancy remain undiminished half a century later. Patwardhan, whose family was immersed in the non-violent Gandhian movement, explores India’s trajectory towards militarism, though the film captures stories of resistance along the way. The film examines the costs being extracted from citizens in the name of national security. From the plight of residents living near the nuclear test site to the horrendous effects of uranium mining on local indigenous populations, it becomes abundantly clear that there is no such thing as the “peaceful atom.” Patwardhan says, “In the moral wastelands of the world, memories of Gandhi seem like a mirage that never was, created by our thirst for peace and our very distance from it.”

“The film itself is a tour de force, beautifully shot and often darkly funny and much more riveting than the dry subject matter might suggest.” - Duncan Campbell – The Guardian

“*War and Peace* has a riveting intelligence all its own and earns its epic title.” - Elvis Mitchell – The New York Times

Anand Patwardhan, India’s leading documentary filmmaker, is known for his socio-political, award-winning films. He has spent decades capturing Mumbai’s slum dwellers, the reality of the caste system, the rise of Hindu nationalism, and tensions between India and Pakistan.

CSAS Film Series | *Jai Bhim Comrade* (November 16, 2022 7:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/98305 98305-21796466@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 16, 2022 7:30pm

For thousands of years, India’s Dalits were abhorred as “untouchables,” denied education, and treated as bonded labor. By 1923 Bhimrao Ambedkar broke the taboo, won doctorates abroad, and fought for the emancipation of his people. He drafted India’s Constitution and led his followers to Buddhism. His legend still spreads through poetry and song.

In 1997 a statue of Dr. Ambedkar in a Dalit colony in Mumbai was desecrated with footwear. As angry residents gathered, police opened fire and killed 10 people. Vilas Ghogre, a leftist poet, hung himself in protest.

*Jai Bhim Comrade* shot over 14 years, follows the poetry and music of people like Vilas and marks a tradition that, from the days of the Buddha, has fought superstition and religious bigotry.

“Far reaching, and by turns pensive and enraging… Jai Bhim Comrade could be seen as a capstone to Patwardhan’s extraordinary career.” - Sukhdev Sandhu, The Guardian

“Legendary director Anand Patwardhan’s epic doc about dalit people is a massive, musical, magnificent, masterpiece” - Mark Cousins, Filmmaker, Critic

Anand Patwardhan, India’s leading documentary filmmaker, is known for his socio-political, award-winning films. He has spent decades capturing Mumbai’s slum dwellers, the reality of the caste system, the rise of Hindu nationalism, and tensions between India and Pakistan. He is a member of the Oscar academy, and his films have earned more than 20 international awards.

Student Life Sustainability is partnering with the Detroit Shakur Squad and Bridge Community Cafe in Ypsilanti to host a film screening on November 28 at 6:30pm. Drinks and treats will be available on site!

The 78 minute film is titled Dope is Death (2020) and was directed by Mia Donovan. The film’s website provides the following description for the film: “The story of how Dr. Mutulu Shakur, stepfather of Tupac Shakur, along with fellow Black Panthers and the Young Lords, combined community health with radical politics to create the first acupuncture detoxification program in America in 1973 - a visionary project eventually deemed too dangerous to exist”. Special guests might follow the screening to speak more about the film.

Dr. Mutulu Shakur, a lifelong activist and former member of the Black Liberation Army, now 72 years-old, has been unjustly imprisoned since 1986. He suffers from life-threatening bone marrow cancer and has finally been granted parole on November 10, 2022, after years of unjust denials.

Should you be interested in joining us for the event, please take a few seconds to fill out the RSVP form, as Bridge Community Cafe has limited capacity: https://forms.gle/mTeUvsYAwtBoU3Rr6

A Religion & Feminism Author Roundtable: Muslims, Saints, & Jewishness in Latin America & The Caribbean (November 29, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99378 99378-21797972@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 29, 2022 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Global Islamic Studies Center

Panel: Ken Chitwood, Aliyah Khan, William Calvo-Quirós, and Jocelyn Fenton Stitt.


The Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS) are proud to highlight and launch the new books of current and former University of Michigan faculty in religion and feminist studies in the Americas. The authors of three books in the field read from and discuss their work at a roundtable moderated by Dr. Ken Chitwood, author of The Muslims of Latin America and the Caribbean (2021).


William Calvo- Quirós discusses his *Undocumented Saints: The Politics of Migrating Devotions* (2022), which follows the migration of popular Catholic saints from Mexico into the U.S. and the evolution of their meaning in the context of racism and Latinx immigrant battles for survival.


Aliyah Khan talks about *Far from Mecca: Globalizing the Muslim Caribbean* (2020), the first academic monograph on Muslims in the English-speaking Caribbean, focusing on the gendered fiction, poetry, and music of Islam of enslaved West African Muslims, indentured South Asian Indian Muslims, and their descendants in Guyana, Trinidad, and Jamaica.


Jocelyn Fenton Stitt's *Dreams of Archives Unfolded: Absence and Caribbean Life Writing* (2021), the first academic book on pan-Caribbean life writing and the recent use of the genre by Caribbean women to explore historical and archival absences. This talk focuses on Cuban Jewishness, feminism, and formal practices used to write about historical absences.

Combining literary studies, cultural studies, anthropology, women’s and gender studies, and historiography, these books showcase the innovative, interdisciplinary ways in which religious studies and feminist scholars study and write about creolized and syncretic cultures in the Caribbean and the hemispheric Americas.


Ken Chitwood will be moderating this conversation. He is a religion scholar conducting research on ethnographic journalism with the University of Southern California’s Center for Religion and Civic Culture’s Engaged Spirituality Project and on Latinx Muslim philanthropy with the Muslim Philanthropy Initiative (MPI) at the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at IUPUI. He is the author of the award-winning book, *The Muslims of Latin America and the Caribbean* (2021).

This event is brought to you by the Global Islamic Studies Center (GISC) and co-sponsored by The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS).

*Bombay: Our City* tells the story of the daily battle for the survival of the four million slum dwellers of Bombay that make up half the city's population. Although they are Bombay's workforce - industrial laborers, construction workers, domestic servants - they are denied city utilities like electricity, sanitation, and water. Many slum dwellers must also face the constant threat of eviction as city authorities campaign to "beautify" Bombay.

*Bombay: Our City* is an indictment of injustice and a call to action on the side of the homeless.

"Quite clearly, *Bombay: Our City* is the best documentary ever made in India." - Khalid Mohamed - The Times of India

"Patwardhan gives us this story simply and clearly, with restrained passion, and it becomes, finally, appalling and moving." - Michael Wilmington - The Los Angeles Times

"Simply one of the best documentaries I have ever seen."- Sean Cubitt - City Limits

Anand Patwardhan, India’s leading documentary filmmaker, is known for his socio-political, award-winning films. He has spent decades capturing Mumbai’s slum dwellers, the reality of the caste system, the rise of Hindu nationalism, and tensions between India and Pakistan. He is a member of the Oscar academy, and his films have earned more than 20 international awards.

Genius provocateur Nagisa Oshima, an influential figure in the Japanese New Wave of the 1960s, made one of his most startling political statements with the compelling pitch-black satire *Death by Hanging*. In this macabre farce, a Korean man is sentenced to death in Japan but survives his execution, sending the authorities into a panic about what to do next. At once disturbing and oddly amusing, Oshima’s constantly surprising film is a subversive and surreal indictment of both capital punishment and the treatment of Korean immigrants in his country. Look for former CJS guest Adachi Masao playing the role of a cop.

Join us for the December Film in this year's German Film Series. Directed by Angelina Maccarone and starring Iranian-German actor Jasmin Tabatabai, this 2005 film follows Fariba, a lesbian refugee from Iran, as she escapes the death penalty, navigates German bureaucracy, endures the difficulties of securing asylum, and encounters Western racism, xenophobia, and homophobia. By depicting migratory, racial, and sexual difference, Maccarone describes this film as an exploration of society's dangerous polarities. Fremde Haut is a drama, a German social critique, and a love story that will leave you reflecting on your own definition of normal. You might find that society's line between what is "right" and "wrong" is not always as clear as it seems.

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie *House* (*Hausu*)? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of *Scooby-Doo* as directed by Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home and comes face-to-face with evil spirits, a demonic house cat, a bloodthirsty piano, and other ghoulish visions, all realized by Obayashi via mattes, animation, and collage effects. Equally absurd and nightmarish, *House* might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet.

Location: Detroit Observatory
Organized By: Bentley Historical Library

What does it mean that U-M's first president, Henry Philip Tappan, wanted to turn Michigan into a "true university"?  How has student activism remade Michigan over the decades?  How did one of the nation's most prestigious student literary awards come to U-M?  What does it mean to be a leader and best -- on the playing field or in the laboratory?  And, how should you depict U-M's history?  For its 2017 bicentennial, the University of Michigan collaborated with Detroit Public Television to produce ten mini-documentaries covering questions such as these from U-M's history.  What do those videos look like six years later, given so many changes in the University and the world? For this movie night, we will screen several videos from the series, and our panel will discuss those videos and the series as a whole.  The panel will consist of Fran Blouin and Kim Clarke, who both appeared in many of the videos, and Gary Krenz, who directed the University's bicentennial.

As with all public events at the Observatory, this movie night will include tours of the building by our student docents, with observing if weather permits.

Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia

*Kalinindorf,* Yurii Kaparulin and Les Kasyanov, directors (29 min, 2020). Following the film screening, Kaparulin will lead the discussion.

The documentary film tells the story of Kalynivske, a village in the Kherson region. Between 1927 and 1944, the village–then known as Kalinindorf–was the center of the first Jewish oblast in Ukraine. Through their encounters with the inhabitants of Kalynivske and of several other former Jewish settlements, the film directors explore the common history of Ukrainian and Jews, complex Ukrainian-Jewish relations, and the Holocaust, and investigate how that layered history is remembered today. The story of Kalynivske and Jewish settlements in the region takes on new meaning following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022, as the region was occupied by Russian troops and then annexed to the Russian Federation. After their liberation by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on November 9, 2022, war crimes committed by the Russian army are being discovered and investigated, providing the occasion to revisit the history of violence in the region.

Les Kasyanov is a photographer and filmmaker who has been working with the French historical organization Yahad—In Unum since 2011 collecting evidence of the Holocaust. Les was responsible for principal photography, sound, and editing.

Yurii Kaparulin, associate professor and director of the Raphael Lemkin Center for Genocide Studies at Kherson State University, is a legal scholar and Scholars at Risk Fellow at the University of Michigan Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia. He has been researching the history of Jewish agricultural settlements in southern Ukraine for the past five years. Prof. Kaparulin researched and produced the film.

An intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life, legacy, and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career.
After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy, Alabama, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17, 2020.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s spellbinding international breakthrough established him as one of the leaders of the emerging new wave of Japanese horror while pushing the genre into uncharted realms of philosophical and existential exploration. A string of shocking, seemingly unmotivated murders—each committed by a different person yet bearing the same grisly hallmarks—leads Detective Kenichi Takabe (Koji Yakusho) into a labyrinthine investigation to discover what connects them, and into a disturbing game of cat and mouse with an enigmatic amnesiac who may be evil incarnate. Awash in a mood of hushed, hypnotic dread, *Cure* is a tour de force of psychological tension and a hallucinatory journey into the darkest recesses of the human mind.

Neptune Frost is an Afrofuturist punk musical that debuted at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim. The story takes place in Burundi, where a group of escaped coltan miners form an anti-colonialist computer hacker collective and attempt a takeover of the authoritarian regime. When an intersex runaway and an escaped coltan miner find each other through cosmic forces, their connection sparks glitches within the greater divine circuitry. Set between states of being – past and present, dream and waking life, colonized and free, male and female – *Neptune Frost *is a call to reclaim technology for progressive political ends.

ABOUT THE FILM
Dissecting one of the most influential platforms of the contemporary social media landscape, TikTok Boom examines the algorithmic, socio-political, economic, and cultural influences and impact of the history-making app. This rigorous exploration balances a genuine interest in the TikTok community and its innovative mechanics with a healthy skepticism around the security issues, global political challenges, and racial biases behind the platform. A cast of Gen Z subjects, helmed by influencer Feroza Aziz, remains at its center, making this one of the most needed and empathetic films exploring what it means to be a digital native.

DIRECTOR & PRODUCER: SHALINI KANTAYYA

Visions of Labor Coordination and Fair Competition in Progressive Era Law & Reform

When we think about the historical relationship between antitrust law and labor coordination, we tend to assume that before there was an explicit “labor exemption,” collective bargaining and other collective action among workers was viewed as anti-competitive. Yet that idea was developed much later than commonly assumed. Debates leading up to the Clayton Act of 1914 form an important episode leading up to that contested development. Professor Paul will discuss her draft chapter, part of a larger book project, that considers this episode in the context of surrounding developments in the law, in economic thought, and in the organization of economic activity. A less-familiar view of competition and markets (from the modern perspective —one focused on distinguishing between fair and unfair competition—also had an important role in the debates leading to Progressive Era antitrust legislation. This view of markets acknowledges that competition is always channeled in particular qualitative directions—guided by, among other things, law—and is also always accompanied by particular, legally-conditioned forms of economic coordination.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE:
Available to stream on demand from March 9-16 at http://watch.eventive.org/amff.

*You Will Die at Twenty*
2019 | 103 minutes | Arabic | Sudan
Directed by: Amjad Abu Alala
Based on a short story by Sudanese writer Hammour Ziada: A Sufi mystic of a Sudanese village in Gezira State near the river Nile predicts that Muzamil, a newborn boy, will die when he reaches the age of twenty. During his first years of adolescence, Muzamil grows up like other children, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.

Film Facts & Background:
Since few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film.

Mariupol: The Chronicles of Hell
The fall of one of Ukraine's major cities
Mariupol — ruined but not conquered. The city in the east of Ukraine has survived the occupation, total destruction, and a humanitarian catastrophe. The story of Mariupol is an especially horrifying one, with accounts reported that occupiers were murdering civilians, and actively preventing them from escaping. This film is the story of the survivors, and their life in a hell on Earth. Yet it's also a testament to the power of resilience, and Ukrainian fighting spirit.

Tickets may be purchased at: https://michtheater.org/

Jun Ichikawa’s brilliant adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s short story. The film centers on Tony Takitani, the neglected only son of a jazz musician. His talent in drawing leads to a successful career in advertising, a life he is ambivalent about. After an encounter with client Eiko, played by Miyazawa Rie, he comes alive. They marry and live a rich life together—until they don’t. With music by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ichikawa captures a spiritual isolation felt at the turn of the century in his stunning yet subtle cinematic technique.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE:
Available to stream on demand from March 9-16 at http://watch.eventive.org/amff.

*You Will Die at Twenty*
2019 | 103 minutes | Arabic | Sudan
Directed by: Amjad Abu Alala
Based on a short story by Sudanese writer Hammour Ziada: A Sufi mystic of a Sudanese village in Gezira State near the river Nile predicts that Muzamil, a newborn boy, will die when he reaches the age of twenty. During his first years of adolescence, Muzamil grows up like other children, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.

Film Facts & Background:
Since few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.

ABOUT THE FILM
Dissecting one of the most influential platforms of the contemporary social media landscape, TikTok Boom examines the algorithmic, socio-political, economic, and cultural influences and impact of the history-making app. This rigorous exploration balances a genuine interest in the TikTok community and its innovative mechanics with a healthy skepticism around the security issues, global political challenges, and racial biases behind the platform. A cast of Gen Z subjects, helmed by influencer Feroza Aziz, remains at its center, making this one of the most needed and empathetic films exploring what it means to be a digital native.

DIRECTOR & PRODUCER: SHALINI KANTAYYA
Emmy-nominated filmmaker Shalini Kantayya directs fiction and nonfiction films that artfully marry the future of science with the future of story. Her latest film, TikTok, Boom, was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and was official selection at SXSW. Her critically-acclaimed 2020 Sundance film, Coded Bias, was broadcast nationally on PBS’s Independent Lens and globally on Netflix in April 2021. The film has been nominated for a Critics’ Choice, and an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Documentary. The film won Best Director at the Social Impact Media Awards, and the Visionary Filmmaker Award at GlobeDocs. Shalini’s debut feature, Catching the Sun, released globally on Netflix on Earth Day 2016 with Executive Producer Leonardo DiCaprio and was named a New York Times Critics’ Pick.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Anthropology

The Department of Afroamerican and African Studies and the Department of Anthropology proudly present:

MAASAI REMIX
Sunday, March 12, 2023; 7 p.m.

Free admission; doors open at 6 p.m.

Following the screening, hear from the filmmakers, Kelly Askew (Chair, U-M Anthropology) and Ron Mulvihill. They will be joined by Queenae Taylor Mulvihill and two of the Maasai personalities featured in the film: Evalyne Mkulati Leng’arwa and Eliah Parpulis Madukuli.


ABOUT THE FILM:
"Maasai Remix" follows three Maasai individuals who—in the United Nations, a Tanzanian village, an American university—confront challenges and bring hope to their community by drawing strength from local traditions, modifying them when necessary, and melding them with new resources. Adam Ole Mwarabu advocates for Maasai pastoralists rights to land in international political spheres. Evalyne Mkulati pursues a college education in the USA, having convinced her father to return 12 cows to a man contracted to marry her. Frank Ole Kaipai, the village chairman, faces opposition as he promotes secondary school education and tries to save the village forest. Sharing a goal of Maasai self-determination in an ever-changing world, Adam, Evalyne and Frank innovate while maintaining an abiding respect and love for their culture.

ABOUT THE DIRECTORS:
The award-winning team of filmmaker Ron Mulvihill and anthropologist Kelly Askew has produced several films on Tanzania, exploring topics from Zanzibar orchestral music to contemporary Maasai lifeways: "Poetry in Motion: 100 Years of Zanzibar’s Nadi Ikhwan Safaa" (Buda Musique, 2012); and "Orkiteng Loorbaak: Rite of Elders" (2017).

Ron Mulvihill’s feature film "Maangamizi: The Ancient One" won the 2004 Paul Robeson Award for Best Feature Film and was Tanzania’s official selection at the 74th Academy Awards. His film "The Marriage of Mariamu" won Best Short Film, the OAU Award, and the Journalists and Critics Award at FESPACO, Africa’s leading film festival (1985).

Kelly Askew, an anthropologist with over 30 years of experience in Tanzania and Kenya and chair of the U-M Department of Anthropology, has worked on several documentary films, including "The Chairman and the Lions" (Documentary Educational Resources, 2012), and a Hollywood feature, "The Ghost and the Darkness" (Paramount Pictures, 1996).

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE:
Available to stream on demand from March 9-16 at http://watch.eventive.org/amff.

*You Will Die at Twenty*
2019 | 103 minutes | Arabic | Sudan
Directed by: Amjad Abu Alala
Based on a short story by Sudanese writer Hammour Ziada: A Sufi mystic of a Sudanese village in Gezira State near the river Nile predicts that Muzamil, a newborn boy, will die when he reaches the age of twenty. During his first years of adolescence, Muzamil grows up like other children, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.

Film Facts & Background:
Since few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.

ABOUT THE FILM
Dissecting one of the most influential platforms of the contemporary social media landscape, TikTok Boom examines the algorithmic, socio-political, economic, and cultural influences and impact of the history-making app. This rigorous exploration balances a genuine interest in the TikTok community and its innovative mechanics with a healthy skepticism around the security issues, global political challenges, and racial biases behind the platform. A cast of Gen Z subjects, helmed by influencer Feroza Aziz, remains at its center, making this one of the most needed and empathetic films exploring what it means to be a digital native.

DIRECTOR & PRODUCER: SHALINI KANTAYYA
Emmy-nominated filmmaker Shalini Kantayya directs fiction and nonfiction films that artfully marry the future of science with the future of story. Her latest film, TikTok, Boom, was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and was official selection at SXSW. Her critically-acclaimed 2020 Sundance film, Coded Bias, was broadcast nationally on PBS’s Independent Lens and globally on Netflix in April 2021.

Shalini’s debut feature, Catching the Sun, released globally on Netflix on Earth Day 2016 with Executive Producer Leonardo DiCaprio and was named a New York Times Critics’ Pick.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE:
Available to stream on demand from March 9-16 at http://watch.eventive.org/amff.

*You Will Die at Twenty*
2019 | 103 minutes | Arabic | Sudan
Directed by: Amjad Abu Alala
Based on a short story by Sudanese writer Hammour Ziada: A Sufi mystic of a Sudanese village in Gezira State near the river Nile predicts that Muzamil, a newborn boy, will die when he reaches the age of twenty. During his first years of adolescence, Muzamil grows up like other children, but sometimes feels uneasy about his future. When Muzammil turns 19, he begins grappling with a holy man's prediction that he will die when he turns twenty.

Film Facts & Background:
Since few films had been produced in Sudan since independence in 1956, You Will Die at Twenty was only the country's eighth feature film. Filmmaker Amjad Abu Alala, who was born in Dubai to Sudanese parents, shot the film in northern Sudan during the upheavals of the Sudanese revolution and despite challenges in a country without a film industry and under the Islamist government of the time.

Location: Munger Graduate Residences
Organized By: African Studies Center

Film screening followed by a panel discussion about the life of Zenzile Miriam Makeba, a South African singer and crusader against apartheid, with a look at her life, career, and activism through the lens of archival footage.

*Mama Africa—The story of Zenzile Miriam Makeba*
A film by Mika Kaurismäki, Documentary, South Africa (2011)

SYNOPSIS

MAMA AFRICA: MIRIAM MAKEBA serves as a powerful introduction to a new generation of Americans to Miriam Makeba, South African singer and anti-apartheid activist, the voice and the hope of Africa.

Miriam Makeba was the first African musician to become a true international star. Her music - which influenced artists across the globe - always remained anchored in her traditional South African roots and conveyed strong messages against racism and poverty.

Miriam Makeba was forced into a life in exile, after staring in the 1959 documentary film “COME BACK AFRICA” which exposed the harsh realities of apartheid. She sang for John F. Kennedy and Marlon Brando, performed with Harry Belafonte, Nina Simone and Dizzie Gillespie, was married to Hugh Masekela and also the radical Black Panther, Stokely Carmichael. Her life was tumultuous but always fascinating. She stood for truth and justice, fought for the oppressed and campaigned tirelessly against apartheid.

She died collapsing after leaving the stage at a concert in the Southern Italian town of Castel Volturno in November 2008. Makeba was 76 years old.

This documentary, directed by Mika Kaurismäki, traces her life and music through more than fifty years of performing. Using rare archive footage of her performances, interviews and intimate scenes filmed over the years, this powerful documentary expertly exposes the biography of a unique person, a world icon. Friends and colleagues, some who knew her since she started performing in the dance halls of South Africa (remember “Pata Pata”), together with her grandchildren Zenzi Monique Lee and Nelson Lumumba Lee, allow us to learn about the remarkable journey of Miriam Makeba, “Mama Africa”.

Location: Dana Natural Resources Building
Organized By: Program in the Environment (PitE)

“Picture a Scientist” chronicles the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. Biologist Nancy Hopkins, chemist Raychelle Burks, and geologist Jane Willenbring lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. Along the way, from cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations, we encounter scientific luminaries -Sharon Shattuck including social scientists, neuroscientists, and psychologists - who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.

Join us for a post screening Q&A with filmmaker and University of Michigan Program in the Environment alumna, Sharon Shattuck (BS ‘05).

Sharon Shattuck is an Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker and podcast host. “Picture a Scientist” was an official selection of the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival, broadcast in 2021 on NOVA (PBS), was nominated for a 2022 News & Documentary Emmy, and is available on Netflix worldwide. “From This Day Forward” was a New York Times Critic's Pick and broadcast on POV (PBS) and Netflix in 2016. She was the series story producer of the Emmy-nominated Netflix Original Documentary series “Follow This,” the co-creator of the Emmy-nominated New York Times Op Docs series “Animated LiPitE 20th Anniversaryfe,” and the cohost of the true crime podcast “Conviction: American Panic” from Spotify. Sharon was one of DOC NYC and HBO Documentaries’ ‘40 Under 40’ filmmakers for 2021. She is a University of Michigan (PitE) alumna and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.

This event is part of the yearlong celebration of the Program in the Environment’s (PitE) 20th anniversary.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE:
Available to stream on demand from March 23-30 at http://watch.eventive.org/amff

*Mawlana*
2016 | 130 minutes | Arabic | Egypt
Directed by: Magdi Ahmed Ali
Mawlana tells the story of the well-known preacher Hatem Al Shenawy who hosts a series of moral, ethical, and religious debates through his popular TV show. After gaining popularity as a TV Celebrity, Hatem finds himself in a web of political discord that tests his credibility and convictions. Hatem deals with the pressure of concealing what he really thinks about religious issues, especially under the restrictions imposed by state security.

Film Background & Facts:
Adapted from a novel by prominent journalist Ibrahim Eissa, *Mawlana* (“The Preacher”) tells the story of a popular television preacher who struggles to reconcile his religious principles with demands and pressures from politicians and security agencies, as well as ordinary human temptations. Because of its portrayal of the complex relationship between clerics and the government, this film has provoked a lot of backlash from Sunni Muslim leaders, with some calling for the film to be banned.

*The Tale of The Princess Kaguya* is one of Studio Ghibli’s finest films, the strikingly beautiful culmination of decades of contemplation by director Isao Takahata. An adaption of a story from the late 9th or early 10th century, it tells the tale of a tiny girl found inside a shining stalk of bamboo by an old bamboo cutter and his wife. The girl grows into an exquisite young lady. From the countryside to the grand capital city, she enthralls all who encounter her, including five noble suitors. *The Tale of The Princess Kaguya* is the culmination of Takahata’s career.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE:
Available to stream on demand from March 23-30 at http://watch.eventive.org/amff

*Mawlana*
2016 | 130 minutes | Arabic | Egypt
Directed by: Magdi Ahmed Ali
Mawlana tells the story of the well-known preacher Hatem Al Shenawy who hosts a series of moral, ethical, and religious debates through his popular TV show. After gaining popularity as a TV Celebrity, Hatem finds himself in a web of political discord that tests his credibility and convictions. Hatem deals with the pressure of concealing what he really thinks about religious issues, especially under the restrictions imposed by state security.

Film Background & Facts:
Adapted from a novel by prominent journalist Ibrahim Eissa, *Mawlana* (“The Preacher”) tells the story of a popular television preacher who struggles to reconcile his religious principles with demands and pressures from politicians and security agencies, as well as ordinary human temptations. Because of its portrayal of the complex relationship between clerics and the government, this film has provoked a lot of backlash from Sunni Muslim leaders, with some calling for the film to be banned.

Organized By: Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies

53 min., 2021, Bistrita, Romania

A cinematic and existential encounter between Belgian-Romanian Stefan Gota and a group of young shepherds. Gota returns to his native Romania to make a fresh start as a shepherd. Jannes Callens’s film moves at the same pace as a pasture crossing, between expedition, pause, and contemplation. Striking images of this profession merge with existential considerations. How can you guide a flock when you’re a little lost yourself?

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE:
Available to stream on demand from March 23-30 at http://watch.eventive.org/amff

*Mawlana*
2016 | 130 minutes | Arabic | Egypt
Directed by: Magdi Ahmed Ali
Mawlana tells the story of the well-known preacher Hatem Al Shenawy who hosts a series of moral, ethical, and religious debates through his popular TV show. After gaining popularity as a TV Celebrity, Hatem finds himself in a web of political discord that tests his credibility and convictions. Hatem deals with the pressure of concealing what he really thinks about religious issues, especially under the restrictions imposed by state security.

Film Background & Facts:
Adapted from a novel by prominent journalist Ibrahim Eissa, *Mawlana* (“The Preacher”) tells the story of a popular television preacher who struggles to reconcile his religious principles with demands and pressures from politicians and security agencies, as well as ordinary human temptations. Because of its portrayal of the complex relationship between clerics and the government, this film has provoked a lot of backlash from Sunni Muslim leaders, with some calling for the film to be banned.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE:
Available to stream on demand from March 30-April 6 at http://watch.eventive.org/amff

*Barakat*
2020 | 105 minutes | Afrikaans | South Africa
Directed by: Amy Jephta

When matriarch Aisha Davids decides to accept a marriage proposal, she devises a plan to break the news to her four sons over Eid. The only problem is that the two eldest sons have been at odds since their father passed away and refuse to be in the same room at the same time.

Her big reveal is spoiled when the boys hear via the grapevine about their mother’s pending marriage and come together to voice their disapproval. Now it’s up to Aisha, her fiancé, and her daughters-in-law to bring the sons around to her way of thinking using the one thing they can all agree on–the *barakat*. *Barakat*, an Arabic word meaning blessings, is a story about celebrating life, culture, and the importance of family.

Film Background & Facts:
*Barakat* is a 2020 South African family drama film directed by Amy Jephta and produced by Ephraim Gordon. It is the first Afrikaans-language Muslim feature film produced in South Africa. *Barakat*, an Urdu word meaning “Blessings,” was told with gentle humanity stemming from filmmakers with lived experience. This is a rare and insightful glimpse into the heart of the Muslim, Malay, mixed-race community of Cape Town, seen through the prism of one family’s travails as they grapple with the ups and downs of life, love, and familial relationships in a way that is recognizable and relatable.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE:
Available to stream on demand from March 30-April 6 at http://watch.eventive.org/amff

*Barakat*
2020 | 105 minutes | Afrikaans | South Africa
Directed by: Amy Jephta

When matriarch Aisha Davids decides to accept a marriage proposal, she devises a plan to break the news to her four sons over Eid. The only problem is that the two eldest sons have been at odds since their father passed away and refuse to be in the same room at the same time.

Her big reveal is spoiled when the boys hear via the grapevine about their mother’s pending marriage and come together to voice their disapproval. Now it’s up to Aisha, her fiancé, and her daughters-in-law to bring the sons around to her way of thinking using the one thing they can all agree on–the *barakat*. *Barakat*, an Arabic word meaning blessings, is a story about celebrating life, culture, and the importance of family.

Film Background & Facts:
*Barakat* is a 2020 South African family drama film directed by Amy Jephta and produced by Ephraim Gordon. It is the first Afrikaans-language Muslim feature film produced in South Africa. *Barakat*, an Urdu word meaning “Blessings,” was told with gentle humanity stemming from filmmakers with lived experience. This is a rare and insightful glimpse into the heart of the Muslim, Malay, mixed-race community of Cape Town, seen through the prism of one family’s travails as they grapple with the ups and downs of life, love, and familial relationships in a way that is recognizable and relatable.

Organized By: Latina/o Studies

On May 5th, 1991, people took to the streets of Washington D.C.’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood to protest the police shooting of Daniel Gomez, a young man from El Salvador. Through testimony, song, poetry, and street theatre, La Manplesa: An Uprising Remembered weaves together the collective memory of one of D.C.’s first barrios, and dives into the roots of the ‘91 rebellion. As people across the world take to the streets to demand an end to police brutality, the film honors the largely untold stories that have come before us, and explores how artists prompt us to remember what we still have to fight for.

Mariupol: The Chronicles of Hell
The fall of one of Ukraine's major cities
Mariupol — ruined but not conquered. The city in the east of Ukraine has survived the occupation, total destruction, and a humanitarian catastrophe. The story of Mariupol is an especially horrifying one, with accounts reported that occupiers were murdering civilians, and actively preventing them from escaping. This film is the story of the survivors, and their life in a hell on Earth. Yet it's also a testament to the power of resilience, and Ukrainian fighting spirit.

Two years after his wife’s unexpected death, Yusuke Kafuku, a renowned stage actor and director, receives an offer to direct a production of *Uncle Vanya* at a theater festival in Hiroshima. There, he meets a taciturn young woman assigned by the festival to chauffeur him in his beloved red Saab 900. As the production’s premiere approaches, tensions mount amongst the cast and crew, not least between Yusuke and Koji Takatsuki, a handsome TV star who shares an unwelcome connection to Yusuke’s late wife. Forced to confront painful truths raised from his past, Yusuke begins—with the help of his driver—to face the haunting mysteries his wife left behind. Adapted from Haruki Murakami’s short story, Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Oscar-winning *Drive My Car* is a haunting road movie traveling a path of love, loss, acceptance, and peace.

@ 7:30 PM: L'immensità by Emanuele Crialese (2022)
Rome, 1970s: Clara and Felice have just moved into a new apartment. Their marriage is over: they don't love each other anymore, but they can't let go. It is the children who keep them together, on whom Clara pours all her desire for freedom. Adriana, the eldest, has just turned 12 and is the most attentive witness of Clara's moods and the growing tensions between her parents. Adriana rejects her name, her identity, and wants to convince everyone that she is a boy. Her obstinacy of hers brings the already fragile family balance to breaking point. While the children wait for a sign to guide them, whether it's a voice from above or a song on TV, everything around and inside them changes.

CSEAS Film Screening and Discussion. Dragon For Sale (May 1, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/107886 107886-21818347@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, May 1, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Southeast Asian Studies

The Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Michigan in collaboration with the Graduate Education & Training in Southeast Asian Studies (GETSEA) consortium and Justice in Southeast Asia Lab (JSEALab), is proud to present a screening of Dragon for Sale followed by a discussion with the film’s Director, Producers, and Research Team.

Dragon for Sale documents the Indonesian government’s “10 New Balis” development project in Eastern Indonesia and its attempts to turn Flores and the Komodo Islands into an international tourist destination. The documentary film highlights the darker side of the project’s history, including catastrophic environmental degradation and multiple human rights violations as local populations are forced out of their ancestral homes to make way for resorts and restaurants. The film showcases the resistance movements of local communities striving to create alternative tourism development and conservation plans through an indigenous framework of human-animal kinship and coexistence.

This hybrid event, simulcast in-person at six leading universities across the United States and on Zoom across the globe, is the first international screening of this groundbreaking documentary since its mid-April release in Indonesia. Join us on May 1, 2023, at Weiser Hall 555 at 6:00 pm or on Zoom at http://bit.ly/41Uqw0X.

Light refreshments will be served.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with Jonathan Valdez at valdezjo@umich.edu.

If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact cseas@umich.edu. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
