Here’s something I heard about just yesterday: The Herron School of Art and Design (735 W. New York St.) will have a screening of the PBS series Art in the 21st Century on Wednesday, October 14, at 5:30 PM. A panel discussion will follow the screening. I didn’t see anything on WFYI’s site about an admission price, so this might be a freebie.

I wish Toronto was lke this, showing a million movies and classics, as well.
I finlly watched Departures and understand exactly why it won the Oscar. As great as “Waltz With Bashir” was it just isn’t on the level of “Departures”.

And I can only imagine seeing “Giant” on the big screen. I saw “Dr. Strangelove”, “Monty Python and the Hoy Grail”, and “Sonatine” in theatres but “Giant” would be as good as “Lawrence of Arabia” on the big screen.

There’s almost too much to comment on! Again this week I have South Bend envy (that is so not right for a resident of the state’s capital/population center), this time over the Bahrani film series. I hope A Woman in Berlin makes it to the Landmark; difficult subject matter obviously, but the film has been receiving rapturous reviews. I was pleased to see Evangelion 1.0 held over. Admittedly the Georgetown seems to have a low ticket sales standard – I mean really, how many tickets can they possibly have sold for Blood Creek? – but it’s still an encouraging sign for alterna-cinema in Indianapolis. And finally, there’s a striking degree of social consciousness in the current batch of Indian films “opening elsewhere.”
