7:00pm Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché7:00pm - 8:45pmA true pioneer, at age 21, Alice Guy-Blaché started her movie career in 1894 and was a contemporary of Thomas Edison, George Méliès, and the Lumière brothers. Two years after joining the French movie house Gaumont, she was made head of production and began making movies. In her films, Guy-Blaché explored synchronized sound, inventive editing, and color tinting, among many other innovations, and she made films across all genres, including comedies, westerns, and social-issue dramas dealing with topics such as child abuse, feminism, and immigration. She also made the earliest known surviving narrative film with an all-Black cast, A Fool and His Money. In 1910, Guy-Blaché and her husband moved to the U.S., and she founded her own company, Solax Studios, making as many as three films a week in the early years. Yet, by 1919, Guy-Blaché’s career came to an abrupt end, and she and the hundreds of films that bore her name were largely forgotten by the industry she helped to create. Narrated by Jodie Foster, Be Natural is an energetic documentary interwoven with a fascinating— and sometimes infuriating—detective story, tracing the circumstances by which this extraordinary artist was largely forgotten before now. In English and French with English subtitles. Not rated | 2019 | 2K DCP Documentary Directed by Pamela B. Green $4 IUB students, $7 non-students

5:00pm Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers with DJ MADDØG5:00pm - 6:30pmSilent films with live DJ accompaniment This program of short films will run on a loop from 5–8 pm with DJ MADDØG accompanying each rotation. Patrons can come and go as their schedule allows. In the early decades of cinema, some of the most innovative and celebrated filmmakers in America were women. Alice Guy-Blaché helped establish the basics of cinematic language, while others boldly continued its development: slapstick queen Mabel Normand (who taught Charlie Chaplin the craft of directing), action star Grace Cunard, and LGBTQ icon Alla Nazimova. Unafraid of controversy, filmmakers such as Lois Weber and Dorothy Davenport Reid tackled explosive issues such as birth control, abortion, and prostitution. This crucial chapter of film history comes alive through the presentation of a wide assortment of films which have been carefully curated and meticulously restored in 2K and 4K from archival sources. Silent films with English intertitles. Not rated | 1911-29 | 2K DCP Silent/Live Accompaniment Directed by Various Directors Free, no ticket required -- This program is presented as part of the IU Arts and Humanities Council’s September First Thursdays celebration. First Thursdays is a monthly festival showcasing the diversity of arts and humanities on campus and throughout the Bloomington community.

7:00pm Love & Basketball7:00pm - 9:05pmChildhood friends and sweethearts Monica and Quincy grew up together in the same neighborhood and both aspire to careers as professional basketball players. Quincy is a natural talent and longs to play for the pros like his father, Zeke, a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Clippers. Monica is a fiercely competitive player who sometimes has trouble controlling her emotions on the court. They each possess a great love of the game and love for each other. Over the years, their separate paths to basketball stardom test their relationship, threatening to pull them apart. In English and Spanish with English subtitles. Contains mature content. PG-13 | 2000 | HD Drama Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood $4 Ruth E. Carter: Afrocentric Cinematic Universes
10:00pm Pet Sematary10:00pm - 11:45pm30th Anniversary Screening The Creed family—Louis, Rachel, and their children, Ellie and Gage—is just settling into a new country home in Maine when the family cat, Church, meets an untimely death. Convinced by a neighbor to bury the animal in a nearby pet cemetery, Louis soon learns how the ground—an ancient burial site—can change a thing. Yet, when their toddler Gage wanders onto a busy road and is tragically killed by a semi-trailer truck, Louis is inconsolable and determined to resurrect him by any means necessary. Based on the Stephen King horror novel of the same name, the film adaptation rights for Pet Sematary were originally sold in 1984 to George A. Romero, but Romero chose to leave the production to finish another film, Monkey Shines. Mary Lambert was Paramount’s first choice to replace Romero. She began her career in music video—creating iconic videos for The Go-Gos, The Eurythmics, Sting, and Janet Jackson. Just one month prior to the release of Pet Sematary, Lambert directed Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” video, which premiered to protests from the Catholic Church and a call for boycott from the pope himself. Contains mature content. R | 1989 | 2K DCP Horror, Thriller Directed by Mary Lambert $4 Not-Quite Midnights series

4:00pm Cassandro, the Exotico!4:00pm - 5:15pmFamed as much for his flamboyant drag and sky-high pompadour as for his show-stopping kicks and flips, lucha libre star Cassandro’s trailblazing ascent as one the industry’s first openly gay wrestlers has resonated internationally for a quarter century. Shot entirely in 16mm, director Marie Losier’s stirring portrait of prize-winning fighter and queer icon Cassandro in his waning years in the ring is less a swan song than a meteor shower rendered in Technicolor. The film captures the moving, at times humorous, and always colorful dualities of this legendary figure while celebrating his individuality. Cassandro reinvented a staunchly macho sport and exudes resilience of all kinds—from the physical power to leave his opponents KOed to an ability to revisit past trauma and cope with the scars of a body pushed to its limits. Losier melds tender encounters and larger-than-life fight scenes into a stylish whole that reflects the vivid textures and hues of a dazzling life in sport. In English and Spanish with English subtitles. Contains mature content. Not rated | 2018 | 2K DCP Documentary Directed by Marie Losier $4 IUB students, $7 non-students
7:00pm Lost in Translation7:00pm - 8:45pmProgrammed by IU Cinema Technical Director Barbara Grassia. Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson) are two Americans in Tokyo.

Unable to sleep, Bob and Charlotte cross paths one night in the luxury hotel bar. This chance meeting soon becomes a surprising friendship. Charlotte and Bob venture through Tokyo, having often hilarious encounters with its citizens.Shot entirely on location in Japan, Sofia Coppola’s Lost in Translation is a valentine to the nature of close friendships and to the city of Tokyo. In English, Japanese, German, and French with English subtitles. R | 2003 | 2K DCP Drama Directed by Sofia Coppola $4 Staff Selects Series

4:00pm Selma4:00pm - 6:10pmSelma is the story of a movement. The film chronicles the tumultuous three-month period in 1965, when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. led a dangerous campaign to secure equal voting rights in the face of violent opposition. The epic march from Selma to Montgomery culminated in President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965, one of the most significant victories for the civil rights movement. Director Ava DuVernay’s Selma tells the real story of how the revered leader and visionary Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his brothers and sisters in the movement prompted change that forever altered history. Contains mature content. PG-13 | 2014 | 2K DCP Drama Directed by Ava DuVernay $4 Ruth E. Carter: Afrocentric Cinematic Universes —

7:00pm Who Will Write Our History7:00pm - 8:35pmWho Will Write Our History shares the story of Polish-Jewish historian Emanuel Ringelblum and his efforts, along with many others, to preserve the memories of Jews in Nazi-occupied Warsaw. More than 35,000 pages formed an archive, hidden with the hope it would survive the Holocaust. Two of three buried caches were later unearthed. This captivating documentary pulls from the salvaged first-person testimonies to create a comprehensive portrait of resistance and the will to be remembered.

7:00pm The Farewell7:00pm - 8:40pmIn this funny, uplifting tale based on an actual lie, Chinese-born, U.S.-raised Billi (Awkwafina) reluctantly returns to Changchun to find that, although the whole family knows their beloved matriarch, Nai-Nai, has been given mere weeks to live, everyone has decided not to tell Nai Nai herself. To assure her happiness, they gather under the joyful guise of an expedited wedding, uniting family members scattered among new homes abroad. As Billi navigates a minefield of family expectations and proprieties, she finds there’s a lot to celebrate: a chance to rediscover the country she left as a child, her grandmother’s wondrous spirit, and the ties that keep on binding even when so much goes unspoken. With The Farewell, writer/director Lulu Wang has created a heartfelt celebration of both the way we perform family and the way we live it, masterfully interweaving a gently humorous depiction of the good lie in action with a richly moving story of how family can unite and strengthen us, often in spite of ourselves. In English and Mandarin with English subtitles. PG | 2019 | 2K DCP Comedy, Drama Directed by Lulu Wang $4 IUB students, $7 non-students

Years after having abandoned her family, she realizes theonly place she has left to hide is home. While seeking shelter with her mother, Bo, and the daughter she’s never really known, Lila, Ruth begins to mend her fractured familial bonds and discovers how to harness her powers rather than be haunted by them. PG-13 | 2018 | 2K DCP Drama, Science Fiction, Thriller Directed by Julia Hart $4 IUB students, $7 non-students

Paddy (voiced by Melinda Kinnaman), a clever mouse with a great sense of smell, seems to be the right candidate.

7:00pm Once Haunted (Shorts Program)7:00pm - 7:40pmDirectors Crystal Z Campbell and Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich are scheduled to be present. A post-film discussion will follow the screening. Once Haunted Once Haunted is a multi-venue series examining the idea of haunting, both as a multifaceted trope of desire, physical ruins, loss, and social change, as well as a citation from specific genres of horror and surrealism. Free, but ticketed Go-Rilla Means War Not rated | 2017 | HD | 20 min Directed by Crystal Z Campbell Using 35mm film salvaged from a now-demolished Black civil rights theater in Brooklyn, Crystal Z Campbell’s Go-Rilla Means War is a filmic relic of gentrification—a parable weaving intersections of development, cultural preservation, and erasure. A Quality of Light Not rated | 2018 | HD | 8 min Directed by Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich A Quality of Light is the first part of Hunt-Ehrlich’s Black Composer Trilogy, which draws on her family’s history to shed light on untold stories of Black women artists. This film weaves together archival footage and quotes by writer and political revolutionary Aimé Césaire with scenes that foreground the effects of aging on the director’s grandmother, who was a prolific composer. Spit on the Broom Not rated | 2019 | HD | 11 min Directed by Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich Inspired by Hunt-Ehrlich’s working trips with Leigh to visit with the women of the United Order of Tents, Spit on the Broom is a surreal documentary that moves between re-creations of recorded events and lyrical evocations of latent aspects of African American women’s history. At the heart of the film are encounters with the women of the United Order of Tents, who express the group’s core value of self-determination for its members and constituents. --

1:00pm Ana Yurdu (Motherland)1:00pm - 2:35pmDirector Senem Tüzen is scheduled to participate in a post-screening, live-streaming Q&A. Producer Adam Isenberg is scheduled to be present. Nesrin is an urban, middle-class woman recovering from a divorce. She has quit her office job, abandoned her house in Istanbul, and come to the village house of her deceased grandmother to finish a novel and live out her childhood dream of being a writer. When her conservative and increasingly unhinged mother turns up uninvited, Nesrin’s writing stalls and her fantasies of village life turn bitter as the two are forced to confront the darker corners of each other’s inner worlds. In Turkish with English subtitles. Contains mature content, including sexual violence and strong language. Not rated | 2015 | 2K DCP Drama Directed by Senem Tüzen Free, but ticketed Between Worlds: Cultural Hybridity in Turkish Film
4:00pm La Pointe Courte4:00pm - 5:20pmThe great Agnès Varda’s film career began with this graceful, penetrating study of a marriage on the rocks, set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean fishing village. Both a stylized depiction of the complicated relationship between a married couple (played by Silvia Monfort and Philippe Noiret) and a documentary-like look at the daily struggles of the locals, Varda's discursive, gorgeously filmed debut was radical enough to later be considered one of the progenitors of the coming French New Wave. In French with English subtitles. 1956 Drama Directed by Agnès Varda $4 Agnès by Varda

7:00pm Christopher Strong7:00pm - 8:20pmLady Cynthia Darrington (Katharine Hepburn) is an intelligent, liberated, and unconventionally beautiful aviatrix who soars into a torrid affair with Sir Christopher Strong (Colin Clive), a member of Parliament, and crashes into unendurable heartbreak. Christopher Strong is a pre-Code melodramatic story that is as much keen-edged steel as tears, thanks to Hepburn’s gutsy performance—in her second film and first star vehicle—and to the taut direction of Arzner. The film would mark Hepburn’s only on-screen portrayal as “the other woman.” Billie Burke, one of Arzner’s close friends, also shines in a supporting performance as Lady Elaine Strong. For the screenplay, Arzner recruited Pulitzer Prize—winning poet, playwright, and novelist Zoë Akins to adapt Gilbert Frankau’s 1932 novel of the same name. Among the film’s highlights are Hepburn as the world’s most glamorous moth in a stunning silver lamé costume designed by Walter Plunkett (Gone With the Wind). In English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, and Latin with English subtitles. Print courtesy of UCLA Film and Television Archive.

7:00pm The Third Wife7:00pm - 8:40pmWriter/Director Ash Mayfair is scheduled to be present. In 19th century rural Vietnam, 14-year-old May becomes the third wife of wealthy landowner Hung. Soon she learns that she can only gain status by asserting herself as a woman who can give birth to a male child.

10:00pm But I'm a Cheerleader10:00pm - 11:25pm20th Anniversary Screening Megan (Natasha Lyonne) is just your typical, all-American teenager. She does pretty well at school, is dating a football player—although she isn’t as crazy about him as she thinks maybe she should be—and excels at cheerleading. One day, Megan arrives home from school shocked to discover her parents, her boyfriend, her friends, and her teachers have staged an intervention. Everyone has decided she’s gay and needs to spend some quality time at True Directions, a residential conversion-therapy boot camp for gay teens managed by homophobic counselor Mary Brown (Cathy Moriarty). At camp, Megan meets Graham (Clea DuVall), a defiant and unapologetic lesbian, and the two develop a fast friendship. But is it more than that? This satirical, cult comedy was the feature-film debut of director Jamie Babbit (Itty Bitty Titty Committee) and has been described as what it might look like if John Waters directed a cross between Girl, Interrupted and Private Benjamin. The film also features supporting roles by RuPaul, Michelle Williams, Mink Stole, Melanie Lynskey, Bud Cort, Robert Pine, and Julie Delpy. Print courtesy of UCLA Film and Television Archive.

7:00pm Stories We Tell7:00pm - 8:50pmIn this inspired, genre-twisting film, Oscar-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley discovers that the truth depends on who’s telling it. Polley is both filmmaker and detective as she investigates the secrets kept by a family of storytellers. She playfully interviews and interrogates a cast of characters of varying reliability, eliciting refreshingly candid, yet mostly contradictory, answers to the same questions. As each relates their version of the family mythology, present-day recollections shift into nostalgia-tinged glimpses of their mother, who departed too soon, leaving a trail of unanswered questions. Stories We Tell explores the elusive nature of truth and memory, but at its core is a deeply personal film about how our narratives shape and define us as individuals and families, all interconnecting to paint a profound, funny, and poignant picture of the larger human story. Contains mature content. PG-13 | 2012 | 2K DCP Documentary Directed by Sarah Polley $4 The Rashōmon Effect, Themester 2019: Remembering and Forgetting

Event Details

For more than half a century, artist and filmmaker Barbara Hammer (1939 – 2019) created works unique in sensibility, subject matter, and influence. Exploring lesbian identity, politics, and personal narrative, and delving into visceral manifestations of pleasure, pain, aging, and infirmity, Hammer used the camera as an extension of her body to discover ways of communicating experience. Her purposeful engagement with audiences fostered and influenced many generations of filmmakers, and her groundbreaking work shaped contemporary film culture in multiple ways. This series includes examples of films and videos that Hammer made in shorter formats, although her oeuvre also embraced feature-length and performance works. With special thanks to Florrie Burke, and to Carmel Curtis and Joan Hawkins who organized the first iteration of Barbara Hammer: Boundless at Indiana University. The series includes new prints courtesy of the Academy Film Archive, as well as restorations by Electronic Arts Intermix, BB Optics, and the Academy through the National Film Preservation Foundation, the Film Foundation and the George Lucas Family Foundation.

September 7, 2019
2:00pm The Beginning: Early Short Films, 1968 – 19802:00pm - 3:35pmEast Building Auditorium From the start of her filmmaking practice, Barbara Hammer was committed to visibility through portraiture — of herself, others, and communities of women. “My strategy . . . throughout the ’70s was to put a lesbian body on the screen, to bring a lesbian subjectivity to film, to question heteronormative experimental film,” she said. This program of new 16mm prints includes Schizy (1968, from 8mm, new print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive), where the artist confronts gender play; Jane Brakhage (1975), a portrait of well-known experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage’s first wife; and Double Strength (1978), a poetic portrayal of Hammer’s relationship with trapeze artist Terry Sendgraff, (both prints restored by Electronic Arts Intermix and the Academy Film Archive through the National Film Preservation Foundation’s Avant-Garde Masters Grant program and The Film Foundation. Funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation) among other titles. (Total running time 94 minutes)
4:00pm The Middle: Short Films from the 1980s4:00pm - 5:20pmEast Building Auditorium Developing her optical printing techniques and utilizing the increasingly accessible mediums of analogue video and early computer imagery, Barbara Hammer’s work in the 1980s continued to address media representations of women, including women’s views of their own sexuality, as opposed to the male view. Included are Sync Touch (1981, new print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive), “a lesbian/feminist aesthetic proposing the connection between touch and sight to be the basis for a ‘new cinema’” (Canyon Cinema); Audience (1982, restored by Electronic Arts Intermix and the Academy Film Archive through the National Film Preservation Foundation’s Avant-Garde Masters Grant program and The Film Foundation. Funding provided by the George Lucas Family Foundation), a self-described diary of audience reactions from several public and international presentations of Hammer’s work; and the critique Snow Job: The Media Hysteria of AIDS (1988), among other titles. (Total running time 80 minutes)
September 8, 2019
4:00pm Hammer Time: Collaboration and Community4:00pm - 5:20pmEast Building Auditorium Jennifer Lange, KJ Mohr, Lynne Sachs, Mark Street, and Deborah Stratman in person Barbara Hammer developed unique artistic collaborations with other filmmakers and supporters. This event includes screenings and discussions with several collaborating artists and with Jennifer Lange, curator of Film/Video at the Wexner Center for the Arts, an artist-in-residence program where Hammer produced and screened many works. Titles include Maya Deren’s Sink (Barbara Hammer, 2011, 30 minutes), filmed on location (with KJ Mohr) at Deren’s homes in New York City and Los Angeles; Vever (for Barbara) (Deborah Stratman, 2019, 12 minutes), incorporating footage Hammer filmed in 1970s Guatemala; two recent titles by Lynne Sachs: a short triptych of influential artists, Carolee, Barbara, and Gunvor (2018, 8 minutes), and A Month of Single Frames (2019, 15 minutes); and the short film So Many Ideas Impossible To Do All, made with Mark Street (2019, 11 minutes). Total running time 76 minutes
September 22, 2019
4:00pm The Never Ending4:00pm - 5:00pmEast Building Auditorium Barbara Hammer’s focus on physicality and the body continued throughout her life, as did a sustained exploration into the aging process, the ramifications of illness, and an unflinching perspective on the act of dying. Sanctus (1990, 19 minutes, restored by the Academy Film Archive) is woven from X-ray footage recorded in the 1950s by Dr. James Sibley Watson; it is followed by A Horse Is Not a Metaphor (2008, 30 minutes), the artist’s depiction of her own struggle with the diagnoses and treatment of ovarian cancer. For Hammer, “ . . . cancer is not a ‘battle,’ cancer is a disease. There are aberrant cells not ‘deadly foes.’ She is not ‘combative and brave,’ she is living with cancer. She is not going to win or lose her ‘battle.’ She is not a ‘survivor,’ she is living with cancer. . . . ” The program concludes with a single-channel version of the multichannel installation Evidentiary Bodies (2018, 11 minutes), Hammer’s last completed work. (Total running time 60 minutes)
