SUMMARY:Film: They Shall Not Grow Old
DESCRIPTION:As part of our Symposium series\, the MHC presents a showing of They Shall Not Grow Old. Using state of the art technology to restore original archival footage which is more than a 100-years old\, Jackson brings to life the people who can best tell this story: the men who were there. Driven by a personal interest in the First World War\, Jackson set out to bring to life the day-to-day experience of its soldiers. After months immersed in the BBC and Imperial War Museums’ archives\, narratives and strategies on how to tell this story began to emerge for Jackson. Using the voices of the men involved\, the film explores the reality of war on the front line; their attitudes to the conflict; how they ate; slept and formed friendships\, as well what their lives were like away from the trenches during their periods of downtime. \nProgramming will include a talk by UMaine’s History professor\, Dr. Howard Segal.

SUMMARY:McGillicuddy Humanities Center Film Series : Zama
DESCRIPTION:The McGillicuddy Humanities Center Film Series will feature a collection of six films throughout the academic year related to “The Cinema of Colonization and Decolonization.” The global films in the series\, from France\, Africa\, Canada\, Argentina and the United States\, examine colonialism\, racism and post-colonial identity\, as well as decolonization of the film industry itself. All films will be shown in the Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall at 6PM on the listed Monday dates\, and will be presented by speakers from across humanities disciplines. \nThe first film in the series is Zama (2017)\, directed by Lucrecia Martel. The University of Maine’s Jamie Havercamp (Anthropology) and Carlos Villacorta Gonzales (Modern Languages; Spanish) will introduce the film\, discuss it’s depiction of colonial South America\, and moderate a Q and A. \nReview of Zama by David Sims in The Atlantic: \n“Zama is a warped portrait of colonial power left to rot in the sun\, a feverishly funny and surreal experience that mostly turns its nose up at narrative. It’s based on Antonio di Benedetto’s 1956 novel of the same name\, but that book tells its story through Zama’s internal monologue\, as he schemes to find ways out of the assignment he’s been handed by the Spanish empire.” \nThe film series continues on the following Mondays: \n\nNovember 4 – Carol (2015)\, dir. Todd Haynes\, 118 runtime\nNovember 18 – Before Tomorrow (2008)\, dir. Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Madeline Ivalu\, 93 minute runtime\nSpring films and dates announced soon.\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:McGillicuddy Humanities Center Film Series : Carol
DESCRIPTION:The McGillicuddy Humanities Center Film Series will feature a collection of six films throughout the academic year related to “The Cinema of Colonization and Decolonization.” The global films in the series\, from France\, Africa\, Canada\, Argentina and the United States\, feature a variety of filming styles\, including documentary\, ethnographic\, and outsider films alongside studio productions. The film selections examine colonialism\, racism and post-colonial identity\, as well as decolonization of the film industry itself. \nAll films will be shown in the Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall at 6PM on the following Mondays. Spring films and dates announced soon: \n\nOctober 21 – Zama (2017)\, dir. Lucrecia Martel\, 115 minute runtime\nNovember 4 – Carol (2015)\, dir. Todd Haynes\, 118 minute runtime\nNovember 18 – Before Tomorrow (2008)\, dir. Marie-Hélène Cousineau and Madeline Ivalu\, 93 minute runtime\n\nRoger Ebert’s review of Carol: \n“In “Carol\,” Haynes turns his eye on the “invisible” lesbian sub-culture of the 1950s closet. A lush emotional melodrama along the lines of the films of Douglas Sirk\, Haynes’ patron saint\, “Carol” is often about its surfaces\, their beauty contrasting with the scary duality of people\, relationships. The surfaces in “Carol” are so seductive that one understands the ache to belong in that world.” \n

SUMMARY:Visiting Professor Erin J. Kappeler's lecture on "Mary Austin's Time Machine: Modernist Poetics and Settler Time"
DESCRIPTION:Visiting professor Erin J. Kappeler (Tulane University) will be speaking in Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall on Wednesday\, March 4\, at 3PM. \nKappeler will explore key texts by the modernist poet and activist Mary Austin\, who helped to invent Native American poetry as a field\, to show that the concept of free verse was a tool of settler cultural domination as much as it was a democratization of poetic language or a formal innovation. This history of free verse translations of Native American oral expressions opens pressing questions about the ethics of translation and about legacies of settler colonial appropriations of Native American cultural materials in contemporary English departments. \nPart of the McGillicuddy Humanities Center’s symposium on “Society\, Colonization\, and Decolonization.” The event is free and open to the public. \n

SUMMARY:(CANCELED) Coffy: The Cinema of Colonization and Decolonization
DESCRIPTION:The March 9 showing of the film Coffy  is CANCELED due to unforeseen travel delays with the speaker.\nTomorrow’s talk with Professor Mathijs is also canceled.\nFuture “Cinema of Colonization and Decolonization” events listed below will continue as scheduled.  \nThe McGillicuddy Humanities Center is holding a year-long film series examining “The Cinema of Colonization and Decolonization” as part of our annual symposium. The films selected engage with the theme in a variety of ways\, from incorporating the legacies of colonization into the storyline to disrupting traditional Western systems and methods of production and distribution. Films are shown in Hill Auditorium in Barrows Hall (ESRB) on select Monday evenings at 6 p.m. All movies are free\, open to the public\, and include a meal and discussion. \nMarch 9: Coffy (*CANCELED)  \nCoffy  (1973)\, directed by Jack Hill\, is a classic of blaxploitation cinema starring Pam Grier as a vigilante nurse fighting drug dealers\, criminals\, and the system\, in an effort to avenge her sister’s death. The film subverts the action/crime movie genre and places black characters at the center as the heroes. Noted visiting film scholar\, Professor Ernest Mathijs from the Film and Media Studies Department at the University of British Columbia\, will lead a discussion following the film. \nMarch 23: Innocence Unprotected \nInnocence Unprotected (1968)\, directed by Dusan Makavejev\, is a Yugoslav film pieced together with footage from an earlier 1941 film of the same name made by gymnast Dragoljub Aleksić that was never released due to Nazi censors. Makavejev added additional news footage from the war and Nazi propaganda to turn it into something entirely new\, part documentary\, part bizarre acrobatic montage. Michael Grillo\, Associate Professor of the History of Art at UMaine\, will lead a discussion following the film. \nApril 6: Timbuktu  \nTimbuktu (2014)\, directed by Abderrahmane Sissako\, is a French-Mauritanian film that examines the brief occupation of Timbuktu\, Mali by the militant Islamist group Ansar Dine.
