Here is the Spring 2011 program book for the IU Cinema, which opens in January. As one of about 10 THX® Certified university cinemas in the U. S., and arguably the country's best-equipped university cinema, the IU Cinema is on its way to becoming the leading center for the scholarly study of film in the Midwest. The events include our regular campus screenings: the City Lights and Underground series, and the Iris Film Festival, sponsored by the IU Department of Communication & Culture; the East Asian Film Series sponsored by the IU East Asian Studies Center; and the Jewish Film Series sponsored by the Robert A. and Sandra S. Borns Jewish Studies Program at IU. And look for these new programs: David Lean, John Ford, and Michelangelo Antonioni/Monica Vitti retrospectives; the International Arthouse Series; CINEkids: International Children’s Film Series; and Women of French Cinema sponsored by the IU Department of Communication & Culture with support from the French American Cultural Exchange.
In addition to film introductions and discussions by IU cinema studies faculty, the schedule features guest lectures and screenings by filmmakers Jill Godmilow, Dr. Kenneth Anger, Albert Maysles, Stanley Nelson, Angelo Pizzo and David Anspaugh, and Hans Scheirl, as well as art director Terence Marsh, composers/silent film accompanists Dennis James and Dr. Philip Carli, and IFC Films President Jonathan Sehring. Dan Ford, grandson of John Ford, will also introduce a screening of the director's 16 mm home movies as part of the Ford retrospective.
I'm especially looking forward to seeing the new 35 mm print of Anthony Mann's Reign of Terror (1949). As you can tell, I'm excited!
