SUMMARY:Night of the Hunter Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Selected by Cranbrook Art Museum curator Laura Mott to facilitate her interview with artist Scott Hocking\, who is currently exhibiting at Tube Factory artspace\, we will screen The Night of the Hunter then reference the interview between her and Hocking. \nThe Night of the Hunter is a 1955 American film noir directed by Charles Laughton and starring Robert Mitchum\, Shelley Winters and Lillian Gish. Based on the 1953 novel of the same name by Davis Grubb\, it was adapted for the screen by James Agee and Laughton. The plot focuses on a corrupt reverend-turned-serial killer who attempts to charm an unsuspecting widow and steal $10\,000 hidden by her executed husband. \nThe novel and film draw on the true story of Harry Powers\, hanged in 1932 for the murder of two widows and three children in Clarksburg\, West Virginia. The film’s lyrical and expressionistic style with its leaning on the silent era sets it apart from other Hollywood films of the 1940s and 1950s\, and it has influenced later directors such as David Lynch\, Martin Scorsese\, Terrence Malick\, Jim Jarmusch\, Spike Lee\, and the Coen brothers. \nIn 1992\, The Night of the Hunter was deemed “culturally\, historically\, or aesthetically significant” by the United States Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. The influential film magazine Cahiers du cinéma selected The Night of the Hunter in 2008 as the second-best film of all time\, behind Citizen Kane.

SUMMARY:Ubu The King
DESCRIPTION:About the show:\nRough House Theater Company is touring to eight cities across the Midwest and East Coast with their production of Ubu the King\, Alfred Jarry’s 1896 masterpiece of absurdo-surrealism\, elaborately retold with original music and over 60 stunning hand-crafted puppets. \nIn a new adaptation by artistic director Mike Oleon\, Rough House’s Ubu the King brings Jarry’s seminal satire to life in all its absurd\, grotesque glory. In the hands of five power hungry puppeteer-performers\, Pa Ubu murders\, lies\, and farts his way up to the Polish throne – and back down again. Beautifully designed and meticulously realized by designer Grace Needlman\, Rough House’s Ubu is ridiculous\, heartbreaking\, and spectacular. \nAbout Rough House: \n\nRough House Theater Company is committed to connecting individuals and communities through art that celebrates the weird things that make us unique\, and the weirder things that bring us together. \nRough House creates theater that captures the heart through the eye. Rough House shows use puppetry\, music\, and human performance to tell stories that are intimate\, strange\, and sincere.  The company aims to invigorate audiences and inspire fellow artists through work that is rigorous\, adventurous\, and jubilantly weird. \nThrough educational programming\, cultivation of work by emerging and established artists\, and broadly accessible performances\, Rough House seeks to bring new life to puppet theater in Chicago\, and to invigorate a spirit of cross-disciplinary artistic experimentation within an ever-growing\, diverse community of artists.

SUMMARY:The Forbidden Room-Guy Maddin
DESCRIPTION:“We talk about movies being dreamlike\, but this is ridiculous. The Forbidden Room is often maddening\, occasionally beautiful\, and ultimately unforgettable\,” says Bilge Ebiri of Vulture Magazine. \nJoin us for a screening of THE FORBIDDEN ROOM\, Guy Maddin’s ultimate epic phantasmagoria. Honoring classic cinema while electrocuting it with energy\, this Russian nesting doll of a film begins (after a prologue on how to take a bath) with the crew of a doomed submarine chewing flapjacks in a desperate attempt to breathe the oxygen within. Suddenly\, impossibly\, a lost woodsman wanders into their company and tells his tale of escaping from a fearsome clan of cave dwellers. From here\, Maddin and co-director Evan Johnson take us high into the air\, around the world\, and into dreamscapes\, spinning tales of amnesia\, captivity\, deception and murder\, skeleton women and vampire bananas. Playing like some glorious meeting between Italo Calvino\, Sergei Eisenstein and a perverted six year-old child\, THE FORBIDDEN ROOM is Maddin’s grand ode to lost cinema. Created with the help of master poet John Ashbery\, the film features Mathieu Amalric\, Udo Kier\, Charlotte Rampling\, Geraldine Chaplin\, Roy Dupuis\, Clara Furey\, Louis Negin\, Maria de Medeiros\, Jacques Nolot\, Adele Haenel\, Amira Casar and Elina Lowensohn as a cavalcade of misfits\, thieves and lovers\, all joined in the joyful delirium of the kaleidoscopic viewing experience.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans: Peril and Promise (1980-2000)
DESCRIPTION:In the 80s the nature of the Latino Diaspora changes again. From Cuba a second wave of refugees to United States – the Mariel exodus – floods Miami . The same decade sees the sudden arrival of hundreds of thousands of Central Americans (Salvadorans\, Guatemalans\, and Nicaraguans) fleeing death squads and mass murders at home like activist\, Carlos Vaquerano. By the early 1990s\, a political debate over illegal immigration – has begun. Globalization\, empowered by NAFTA\, means that as U.S. manufacturers move south\, Mexican workers head north in record numbers. A backlash ensues: tightened borders\, anti-bilingualism\, state laws to declare all illegal immigrants felons. But a sea change is underway: the coalescence of a new phenomenon called Latino American culture-as Latinos spread geographically and make their mark in music\, sports\, politics\, business\, and education. Gloria Estefan leads the Miami Sound Machine creating cross over hits in Spanish and English. Oscar de la Hoya\, a Mexican-American boxer from L.A.\, becomes an Olympic gold medalist and the nation’s Golden Boy. Is a new Latino world being created here as the Latino population and influence continues to grow? Alternatively\, will Latinos in America eventually assimilate into invisibility\, as other groups have done so many times? Latinos present a challenge and an opportunity for the United States. America’s largest and youngest growing sector of the population presents what project advisor Professor Marta Tienda calls\, The Hispanic Moment.Their success could determine the growth of the United States in the twenty-first century; however their failure\, contributing to an underclass\, could also pull this country down. The key\, according to Tienda and Eduardo J. Padron\, Ph.D.\, President of Miami Dade Community College\, is education. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans:The New Latinos (1946-1965)
DESCRIPTION:Until World War II\, Latino immigration to the United States was overwhelmingly Mexican-American. Now three new waves bring large-scale immigration from Puerto Rico\, Cuba\, and the Dominican Republic. As the Puerto Rican government implements a historic overhaul over a million Puerto Ricans are encouraged to leave for the US mainland\, to alleviate the economic pressure. A young Juanita Sanabria arrives in New York\, works hard in the garment district\, but encounters hostility and discrimination. Ethnic tensions explode in youth gang warfare depicted in films like West Side Story\, etching the stereotype of the knife wielding Puerto Rican in the American consciousness. \nIn the film\, Rita Moreno plays the role of Anita and wins an Oscar. But for most Puerto Ricans empowerment remains elusive. A young Puerto Rican lawyer\, Herman Badillo\, takes on the political establishment\, opening the door for unprecedented Puerto Rican participation in electoral politics. In the early 60s\, the first Cubans flee the left-wing Castro regime\, a relatively white\, middle-class flight that soon forms a refugee enclave in Miami. A child of 11 at the time\, Gustavo Perez Firmat believes like most refugees\, that it is only a matter of weeks before the American government will wrest Cuba from the Communist regime. But Castro survives. Maria de los Angeles Torres is only six years old when she leaves Havana without her parents\, one of 14\,000 children are smuggled out through an underground network. Unable to leave legally\, Manuel Capo and his two military age sons – make a dramatic journey to the US. With skills honed in the family furniture business in Cuba and support from the federal government\, the Capos build thriving business marketing to the growing Cuban population. \nIn 1965\, fearing another Communist takeover in the Caribbean\, President Johnson sends Marines to the Dominican Republic\, triggering a third wave of immigration. With a US visa in hand\, 20 year-old university student\, Eligio Peña\, flees to New York. Eventually he brings his family to New York as Dominicans build a new home in Washington Heights. Julia Alvarez would take the immigrant experience – her own and that of her fellow Dominicans – to unprecedented literary heights in How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents. In her work\, she explores the hybrid identity taking shape in a new generation of Latinos\, who are now demanding their place in America. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

SUMMARY:Latino Americans-War and Peace (1942-1954)
DESCRIPTION:World War II is a watershed event for Latino Americans with hundreds of thousands of men and women serving in the armed forces\, most fighting side by side with Anglos. In the Pacific\, East L.A.’s Guy Gabaldon becomes a Marine Corp legend when he singlehandedly captures more enemy soldiers than anyone in US military history. But on the home front\, discrimination is not dead: in 1943\, Anglo servicemen battle hip young “Zoot suitors” in racially charged riots in southern California. \nAfter the war\, Macario Garcia becomes the first Mexican National to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor for his exploits fighting in Europe\, only to be refused service in a Texas diner. The experience during the war pushes Latinos to fight for civil rights back home. A doctor from South Texas\, Hector Garcia\, organizes the American GI Forum\, transforming himself into a tireless advocate for civil rights and the friend of a future president. Although Latinos make significant gains\, the journey for equality is far from over. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.

With the arrival of the British in North America\, the two colonial systems produce contrasting societies that come in conflict as Manifest Destiny pushes the U.S into the Mexican territories of the South West. \nApolinaria Lorenzana provides a window to the Spanish Mission System while Mariano Vallejo personifies the era of the Californio rancheros an elite class who thrive after Mexico gains its independence from Spain. Juan Seguín\, a third generation Tejano or Texan\, is caught between two worlds; his commitment to an Independent Texas and his identity as a Mexican. Through the Mexican American War\, the U.S. takes a full half of Mexico’s territory by 1848. Over seventy thousand Mexicans are caught in a strange land and many become American citizens. \nAs the Gold Rush floods California with settlers\, complex and vital communities are overwhelmed. The elites\, including Mariano Vallejo and Apolinaria Lorenzana lose their land. Mexicans and Mexican Americans are treated as second-class citizens\, facing discrimination and racial violence. Resistance to this injustice appears in New Mexico as Las Gorras Blancas (The White Caps)\, burn Anglo ranches and cut through barbed wire to prevent Anglo encroachment. At the same time\, New Mexicans manage to transform themselves through education\, managing to preserve Hispano culture in New Mexico and their standing in the midst of an era of conquest and dispossession. \nLatino Americans: 5oo Years of History\, a public programming initiative produced by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA)\, is part of the NEH initiative\, The Common Good: Humanities in the Public Square.
