 ela Ricci Lucchi in Person Oh! Man (Oh! Uomo) Friday April 17 at 7pm Giani
 kian and Ricci Lucchi's powerful survey of the irreparable damage to human
  lives caused by World War One derives its exclamatory title from a quote 
 by Leonardo da Vinci arguing that the very sight of the horrors of war is 
 capable of awakening and renewing the human conscience. Unflinchingly orga
 nizing the archival footage which comprises the film\, Gianikian and Ricci
  Lucchi create two broad categories -of displaced\, sick\, orphaned and ma
 lnourished children and of severely disfigured veterans. Forcing the audie
 nce to systematically confront\, all at once\, the ravages of war\, the se
 emingly unruffled gaze of the camera\, and the filmmakers' own tolerance f
 or the images\, forms a devastating and almost numbing meditation on man-s
  will to destruction.  A sharp retort to complacent spectatorship\, Oh! Ma
 n is also a bold testament to the power of the moving image to awaken the 
 viewer and to objectify the camera's subject. Directed by Yervant Gianikia
 n and Angela Ricci Lucchi. Italy 2004\, 16mm\, color\, 71 min.  Preceded b
 y The Flower of the Race (Il fiore della razza) This short film highlighti
 ng the glorification of the body by Italian fascism skillfully contrasts f
 ootage of staged athletic events with home movies of weddings and family c
 elebrations. Directed by Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi.  Italy
  1991\, 16mm\, color\, 20 min.  Directors Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ric
 ci Lucchi In Person From the Pole to the Equator (Dal polo all'equatore) S
 aturday April 18 at 7pm From the Pole to the Equator is the name given to 
 a documentary compiled in the late 1920s by filmmaker Luca Comerio\, which
  drew on footage from around the globe to celebrate the vitality and achie
 vements of European colonialism - most of all Italian fascism. Using this 
 material\, as well as other footage shot or collected by Comerio\, Gianiki
 an and Ricci Lucchi refashioned Comerio's work in order to tease out the i
 deology written upon -and between-every image. The fact that so much of th
 e film had begun to decay gives it a layer of abstraction and serves as a 
 comment on the contingent nature of the images and their ideology and\, in
  Gianikian's words\,'on the violence of colonialism as it plays itself out
  in different situations and spheres.'\nDirected by Yervant Gianikian and 
 Angela Ricci Lucchi.  Italy 1986\, 16mm\, color\, 101 min.  People\, Years
 \, Life (Uomini\, anni\, vita) Sunday April 19 at 3pm Using images shot in
  Russia and Armenia from World War I to the 1930s and retrieved from a Sov
 iet film archive\, Gianikian and Ricci Lucchi constructed a meditative fil
 m about the status of Armenians as a people without a state. Inspired by t
 he diary of Gianikian's father\, People\, Years\, Life uses rare footage d
 epicting the region's major historic events: the end of Tsarist Russia\, v
 iolence in the Caucasus during World War I\, the 1918 Armenian exodus from
  Azerbaijan. Gianikian and Ricci Lucchi's treatment of the material manipu
 lates the speed of the images\, adds color and music\, and magnifies vario
 us parts of the image\, so that the movement of bodies across the frame be
 gins to carry the weight of exile\, mourning\, dispossession. Directed by 
 Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi.  Italy 1990\, 16mm\, color\, 70
  min.\n\nStart time: 3pm and 7pm
