Silent Mountains, Singing Oceans, and Slivers of TimePresented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 12, 2012 Over the last 15 years, David Gatten (b.1971) has explored the intersection of the printed word and moving image. The resulting body of work illuminates a wide array of historical, conceptual and material concerns, while cataloging the variety of ways in which texts function in cinema as both language and image, writing and drawing, often times blurring the boundary between these categories. Using traditional research methods (reading old books) and non-traditional film processes (boiling... | Harvard Film Archive | 02/12/12 | Cambridge |
A Man EscapedPresented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 12, 2012 A Man Escaped tells the true story of a Frenchman’s escape from a German prison camp during World War II. Although the title reveals the film’s denouement, the taut filmmaking keeps viewers on the edge of their seats throughout, suspense deriving from process and ritual rather than narrative surprise. Bresson restricts himself to the point of view of the imprisoned Fontaine whose limited visual environment and precise focus on minute details introduces the subtractive practice... | Harvard Film Archive | 02/12/12 | Cambridge |

An Evening with Michael AlmereydaPresented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 13, 2012 Michael Almereyda first emerged as a prominent name with his very contemporary vampire film Nadja (1994), which found a counterpart with his updating of Hamlet (2000). After that, Almereyda spent several years making non-fiction films – though his most recent work marks a return to fictional narrative – on a fascinating array of topics: Sam Shepherd, New Orleans, William Eggleston. The culmination of this spate of documentaries is the celebrated Paradise (2009), his most recent... | Harvard Film Archive | 02/13/12 | Cambridge |
Paradise - DIRECTOR IN PERSONPresented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 13, 2012 Paradise has been compared to a notebook, a diary and a sketchbook. It is a collection of discrete moments, unscripted and unstaged, shot digitally over several years, none lasting longer than four minutes. There is no voiceover or onscreen text to link or explain the fragments. These moments have little in common other than that they are all instants of beauty or happiness. While there is footage from nine different countries, the final section is centered on the US. There is little direct... | Harvard Film Archive | 02/13/12 | Cambridge |

A Single Spark - FILMMAKER IN PERSONPresented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 17, 2012 A Single Spark tells the story behind a crucial event in modern South Korean history: the self-immolation of factory worker Jeon Tae-il in 1971 to draw attention to the appalling workplace conditions faced by many Koreans. Jeon’s suicide is widely credited as key to the unionization of South Korean workers. Rather than a straightforward biopic, the film elaborates on Jeon’s life by supplying a parallel story: a young activist five years later is researching a biography of Jeon... | Harvard Film Archive | 02/17/12 | Cambridge |
Tosca from the Royal Opera House, LondonPresented by Coolidge Corner Theatre at Coolidge Corner Theatre February 18, 2012 Powerful music, a gripping story and a tragic end: Puccini's ever-popular Tosca performed at London's Royal Opera House with a fabulous cast. Among the star singers in this revival are Angela Gheorghiu, Jonas Kaufmann and Bryn Terfel. Jonathan Kent's detailed production draws to the full on the historical backdrop of Rome in 1800, a political world of control and suspicion, beautifully evoked in Paul Brown's lavish designs. | Coolidge Corner Theatre | 02/18/12 | Brookline |

Chilsu and Mansu - FILMMAKER IN PERSONPresented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 18, 2012 Park’s debut film offered a startling realist intervention by focusing its story on the difficult lives of two struggling artists – billboard sign painters whose dangerous occupation clearly emblematizes the struggles of the working class in post-boom Korea. Made during a time of still heavily imposed censorship and adapted (uncredited) from a story by Taiwanese writer Huang Chunming, whose work was banned at the time in Korea, Chilsu and Mansu is an underappreciated example of... | Harvard Film Archive | 02/18/12 | Cambridge |

Bernward Vesper, son of the Nazi-writer Will Vesper, is rebellious. During the night, he slams angry words into his typewriter, throwing them in the face of the establishment.

But less than 10 years later, Bernward is caught up in the madness of drugs and Gudrun throws... | Goethe-Institut Boston | 02/19/12 | Brookline |
The Devil ProbablyPresented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 19, 2012 Once banned in France as an incitement to teenage suicide, Le diable probablement offers a haunting portrait of a truly lost generation. Within a group of young environmentalists looking to address the crisis of world hunger, one strangely charismatic member leaves, rejecting political activism as insufficient to cope with the sickness of contemporary society and resolving to kill himself as the ultimate gesture of refusal. Describing the film as “voluptuous,” Truffaut explains:... | Harvard Film Archive | 02/19/12 | Cambridge |
The Uprising - FILMMAKER IN PERSONPresented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 19, 2012 After two acclaimed films exploring the relationship between the recent past and the present, Park goes back to 1901 to tell the true story of a revolt against local Catholics, French missionaries and a corrupt government. When peasants balk at increased taxation by a local government that includes a number of Christian converts, the insurrection quickly becomes a religious war. Yi Chae-su is an uneducated young man who finds himself at the head of the insurrection. The film presents an... | Harvard Film Archive | 02/19/12 | Cambridge |
Black RepublicPresented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 20, 2012 Park followed up Chilsu and Mansu with a sweeping drama about a student protester whose life takes a dramatic turn when he hides out in a remote mining town in order to hide from the police. An intensification of Chilsu and Mansu‘s working-class theme, Black Republic boldly pushed the censorship limits with its depiction of exploited labor, mine strikes and police brutality. Co-written by Park, the film subtly uses melodrama to give human dimensions to its vision of a South Korea torn... | Harvard Film Archive | 02/20/12 | Cambridge |
Science on Screen: Crimes and MisdemeanorsPresented by Coolidge Corner Theatre at Coolidge Corner Theatre February 20, 2012 Woody Allen intertwines two storylines in this penetrating, acidly funny tale about the complexity of human choices and the moral microcosms they represent.

Metropolitan - FILMMAKER IN PERSONPresented by Harvard Film Archive at Harvard Film Archive February 24, 2012 In a time “not so long ago,” the discreet charms of the self-described “Urban Haute Bourgeoisie” imbue the debutante after-party scene of Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Beguiled by the clique of collegiate preppies known as the Sally Fowler Rat Pack, Socialist-turned-socialite Tom Townsend finds their unpredictable banter and adherence to an old-fashioned sense of civility curiously admirable.
