As the film unfolds, one single, mesmerizing shot of a refugee boat adrift in the vast blue sea, a web of stories unfolds and worlds intersect and collide. Against the flood of news images about the refugee crisis, Collision radically redirects our imagination of Europe to a set of coordinates in the Mediterranean Sea.

Based on the same research and Merle Kröger’s book by the same title (reading Oct 18 at 7pm at Literati bookstore.)

HAVARIE premiered at the 2016 Berlin Film Festival and won the German Film Critics Award for Best Experimental Film 2016, the arte-documentary award at the Duisburger Filmwoche, Best international feature film at L'Alternativa Barcelona, Best editing in an international feature at RIDM - Montreal international documentary festival, and special mention for the Prix Georges de Beauregard at the Festival International de Cinéma in Marseille.

The study group will consider how it’s been done differently, the same, and how this has evolved over time.

Instructor George Ferrell is a Christie and detective mystery fiction fan and instructor, who has been researching the history of Christie on film. He will lead this study group for three hours sessions on Mondays from October 23 thorough December 4.

The film traces their transformational journeys from soldiers committed to armed battle to non-violent peace activists. It is a story of the human potential unleashed when we stop participating in a story that no longer serves us, and with the power of our convictions take action to create a new possibility...

Levy, a documentary filmmaker, artist, and media activist, co-directed this film with Curt Guyette, Michigan Investigative Journalist of the Year and ACLU of MI Staff Investigative Journalist.

"Off the Record," presents Merola’s experiences with legal observing during political uprisings across the country, from the deeply embattled struggle for water rights in Detroit and Flint to the frontlines of Ferguson and Standing Rock. Shanna Merola is an artist and photojournalist. In addition she works with the Detroit and Michigan Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild to provide legal support for activists around the state.

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.

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.
Q&A with film producer and screenwriter.

Georg, Siegfried Kracauer (November 6, 2017 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/46492 46492-10509867@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, November 6, 2017 7:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Germanic Languages & Literatures

Chair Johannes von Moltke of Germanic Languages and Literatures will host a reading and discussion of German author Siegfried Kracauer's novel Georg, joined by the translator Carl Skoggard and publisher Patrick Kiley.

About Georg: Best remembered today for his brilliant study of early German cinema, From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological Study of the German Film, and for his involvement with the Frankfurt School (he mentored Theodor Adorno), Siegfried Kracauer (1889-1966) was the editor for cultural affairs at Germany's leading liberal newspaper, the Frankfurter Zeitung, during the Weimar Republic until its disastrous end. His novel Georg is a panorama of those years, as seen through the eyes of a rookie reporter working for the fictional Morgenbote (Morning Herald). In a defeated nation seething with extremism right and left, young Georg is looking for something to believe in. For him, the past has become unusable; for nearly everyone he meets, paradise seems just around the corner. But which paradise? Kracauer's grimly funny novel takes on a confused and dangerous time which may remind us of our own.

Carl Skoggard was trained as a musicologist and for many years served as an editor for the music bibliography Repértoire International de la Littérature Musicale (RILM), New York, where he was responsible for German materials. His translation of Ein Jahr in Arkadien, an 1805 gay fiction by Duke August of Saxe-Gotha and Altenburg, appeared in 1999 as Year in Arcadia. More recently he was also the staff writer for Nest: A Quarterly of Interiors, an award-winning magazine created by his partner Joseph Holtzman. Skoggard’s latest project, is a translation of Siegfried Kracauer’s Weimar novel Georg. This is a brilliantly cinematic, darkly comic evocation of that troubled era. Skoggard lives in Valatie, New York, with Holtzman and assorted animals.

Patrick Kiley is a UofM Grad (English, '02) and has served as a research curator and writer for books and exhibitions at Yale's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library and the New York Public Library. In 2014 he opened Publication Studio Hudson, one of several in a network of on-demand book publishers in the Americas and Europe. PS Hudson focuses especially on prose, poetry, artist books and translation. PS Hudson and Patrick have since moved slightly north to Troy, New York.

Johannes von Moltke is the Chair of the Germanic Languages and Literatures Department at U-M and the author, most recently, of The Curious Humanist: Siegfried Kracauer in America.

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.

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.

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.

"In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated."

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.

What the Russian Revolution Meant for Modern Art and Culture (December 5, 2017 7:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/47072 47072-10782628@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, December 5, 2017 7:00pm

The Russian Revolution of 1917 was an earthshaking event, the first time in history the working class and oppressed took power. It opened up a new era in human history. The Revolution inevitably had the most profound implications for art and culture, not only in Russia but worldwide. It shattered old ideas and relationships, and opened up enormous new possibilities. Soviet art and film of the early 1920s began to reflect these possibilities, before the rise of Stalinism violently cut them off.

Art today has reached an impasse, bound up with the general crisis of capitalist society. Dominated to a large extent by skepticism and postmodernist cynicism, along with gender and racial politics, very far removed from the conditions of life of wide layers of the population, art needs a new perspective. The lessons and experience of the Russian Revolution are critical in this regard.

David Walsh, arts editor of the World Socialist Web Site, will discuss the impact and influence of the Russian Revolution on art and culture, and their meaning today.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: International Institute

"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.

Images in Crisis: Experiments in the Photographic Unseen (January 11, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/48069 48069-11177987@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 11, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Angell Hall
Organized By: Department of English Language and Literature

This lecture takes as its starting point Régis Durand’s evocative description of photographs as “images in crisis,” in which “something in them is always trying to run off, to vanish.” It moves through nineteenth and twentieth century photography history in establishing photography as a sequential and grammatical art that denaturalizes the real through its silences, absences, and equivocations. In this way, photography offers a compelling model for reading a composite mode of modernist writing that shares its fragmentary aesthetic and narrative form—and for reconceiving the gendered subject–object relations in that writing, as modernism’s women seem to run off, to vanish, before our eyes. Interleaved with critical–creative readings of individual photographs, drawn from a forthcoming scholarly project to be released on Instagram in February 2018, this lecture is an experiment in an elliptical, associative mode of argumentation that mimes photography’s logic of incongruous juxtaposition.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Nam Center for Korean Studies

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: East Hall
Organized By: Department of Mathematics

Abstract:
In January 2017, the movie Hidden Figures was released by 20th Century Fox studios. This movie tells the story of three African-American women mathematicians and engineers (Katherine Johnson, Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan) who would play a pivotal role towards the successful mission of John Glenn’s spacecraft orbit around the Earth and the NASA missions to the moon.

For this talk, we give a brief review of the space race going on at the time between the United States of America and the former Soviet Union. We will discuss the lives and contributions that NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson and the NASA engineers Mary Jackson and Dorothy Vaughan made to the space race. In particular, their work as concerns John Glenn’s orbit around the Earth in 1962 and to the moon missions. Also, we will talk about the experiences of being a mathematical consultant for this film. (This talk was designed and originally to be presented by Professor Rudy Horne, who passed away in December 2017. Professor Washington kindly agreed to present in his stead.)

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.

CJS Thursday Lecture Series | Care as Labor, Care as Ethics: Feminism and the Documentaries of Kamanaka Hitomi (January 18, 2018 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/47472 47472-10929754@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, January 18, 2018 11:30am
Location: Weiser Hall
Organized By: Center for Japanese Studies

This talk introduces two post-Fukushima films by Kamanaka Hitomi (1958-): "Living Through Internal Radiation" (2012), and "Little Voices of Fukushima" (2015). In interviews, Kamanaka explains that the aim of both was to increase radiation literacy by conveying the truth fully and accurately. Yet regardless of high radiation readings, she emphasizes that neither her films, nor the community discussion spaces she cultivates in trademark local screening events, will ever judge exposed people for evacuating or not. How do we resolve the contradiction? This talk expands the insights of a biopolitical reading with an eco-materialist focus on affective labor and nuclear carework.

Margherita Long teaches Japanese literature in the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures at the University of California, Irvine. Her talk today is from an in-process book manuscript titled "On Being Worthy of the Event: Thinking Care, Affect and Origin after Fukushima".

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.

In collaboration with the Office of Multicultural Initiatives MLK Symposium events, the Center for Campus Involvement will be showing the critically acclaimed film: Selma.

“Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 legally desegregated the South, discrimination was still rampant in certain areas, making it very difficult for blacks to register to vote. In 1965, an Alabama city became the battleground in the fight for suffrage. Despite violent opposition, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (David Oyelowo) and his followers pressed forward on an epic march from Selma to Montgomery, and their efforts culminated in President Lyndon Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965.”

"Tree Gelbman is a blissfully self-centered collegian who wakes up on her birthday in the bed of a student named Carter.

Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

Professor Partridge’s Filming Future Cities project uses film as a critical means to investigate urban futures and engage a broader public, building on his ongoing collaborative film projects in Detroit and Berlin: “Filming the Future of Detroit,’’ and “Filming the Future from Berlin: Noncitizen Perspectives,’’ begun in 2014 (see filmingfuturecities.org). The point of the project is not only to teach refugees, migrants, youth, and noncitizens the skills required for filmmaking, ethnography, and critical analysis of urban landscapes, but also to teach them how to distribute their work to a broader audience and to participate in the planning for and imagination of their city’s future. Using the project’s films as examples, this talk will think through the efficacy of using film as a technique for shaping the future.

The Center for World Performance Studies Faculty Lecture Series features our Faculty Fellows and visiting scholars and practitioners in the fields of ethnography and performance. Designed to create an informal and intimate setting for intellectual exchange among students, scholars, and the community, faculty are invited to present their work in an interactive and performative fashion.


If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to participate in this event, please contact Center for World Performance Studies, at 734-936-2777, at least one week in advance of this event. Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the University to arrange.

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

Duszejko, an eccentric retired construction engineer, an astrologist and a vegetarian, lives in a small mountain village on the Czech-Polish border. One day her beloved dogs disappear. 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…

As time goes by, more grisly killings are discovered. The victims, all hunters, belonged to the local elite. The police investigation proves ineffective. Duszejko has her own theory: all murders were committed by wild animals…

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.

Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Center for World Performance Studies

University of Michigan MM Improvisation and Center for World Performance Studies alum Adam Shead brings his quartet with Amsterdam musicians and coordinators of Dutch improv organization DoEk, John Dikeman and Casper Townkeepers, to the Keene Theater on February 22nd for a performance and discussion regarding concepts of improvisation such as cultural memory, tradition, authenticity, innovation, common language, activism through improvisation, and the business of non-commercial music. Adam Shead met both Dikeman and Townkeepers while doing research in Amsterdam, NL where he subsequently recorded a duo album with each performer, as well as interning for DoEk. During Adam's time in Amsterdam he conducted interviews, performances, and recording projects dealing with improvisation such as cultural memory. The opportunities and discoveries brought about during Adam's time with the Center for World Performance Studies have become quintessential to his life's work, ultimately resulting in the formation of a new quartet with John Dikeman, Casper Townkeepers, and Tony Piazza. The quartet is set to tour the United States in February/March, and will also perform at Ziggy’s in Ypsilanti at 8pm on Thursday, February 22.

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.

Location: Off Campus Location
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).

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.

Location: Dana Building
Organized By: University of Michigan Sustainable Food Program (UMSFP)

This event is part of VegWeek, a series of talks on the health, environmental, and ethical benefit of a plant-based diet. This screening is in partnership with UM Sustainable Food Program's Movie Series, which highlights an array of sustainable food topics.

The event will be accompanied with catering from Jerusalem garden!

Forks Over Knives empowers people to live healthier lives by changing the way the world understands nutrition. As science has shown, chronic conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes can be prevented, halted, and often reversed by making one change that requires no prescription and is accessible to all: leaving animal-based and highly refined foods off the plate and adopting a whole-food, plant-based diet instead.

The documentary will be accompanied by a Q&A with Marc Ramirez, a former UM Football Player whose life was drastically changed after watching the film. Through the power of food, Marc reversed his type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction, psoriasis, frequent heartburn, and lost 70 pounds.

Location: North Quad
Organized By: Judaic Studies

Acclaimed artist and film-maker, Yael Bartana stages encounters between history and fantasy, prophecy and ritual, questioning how the present is infiltrated by the past and vice versa. Bartana will present Inferno (2013), which depicts the building of the third Temple in São Paulo by a Brazilian Neo-Pentecostal Church. Inferno collapses ancient Middle Eastern history into a surreal present, asking questions about monumental construction, destruction, and the weight of the past on material presence and imagined futures. After showing Inferno alongside clips from other works, Bartana will engage in conversation about Jewish materialities and her methodology of “historical pre-enactment” with scholar of Hebrew and German literature and visual culture, Maya Barzilai, and scholar of ancient Jewish history and visuality, Rachel Neis.

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.

Yvonne Rainer, one of the founders of the Judson Dance Theater (1962), made a transition to filmmaking following a fifteen-year career as a choreographer/dancer (1960-1975). Her experimental feature-length films include Lives of Performers (1972), Privilege (1990), MURDER and murder (1996), and many others. Rainer returned to dance in 2000 via a commission from the Baryshnikov Dance Foundation (After Many a Summer Dies the Swan). Museum retrospectives of her work — including drawings, photos, films, notebooks, and memorabilia — have been presented at Kunsthaus Bregenz and Museum Ludwig, Cologne (2012); the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles; Jeu de Paume, École des Beaux Artes, La Ferme du Buisson, Paris, and Raven Row, London (2014). Rainer’s published work includes the memoir Feelings Are Facts: A Life (MIT Press, 2006), Work: 1961-73 (1974), The Films of Y.R. (1989), A Woman Who…: Essays, Interviews, Scripts (1999), and Moving and Being Moved (2017). She is a recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships, a MacArthur Fellowship, and a U.S.A. Fellowship.

This Penny Stamps Speaker Series event is supported by the Ann Arbor Film Festival.
