It took Marie 45 years to walk 80 miles. Living in a comfortable retirement community in Southern Oregon, estranged from her family, unsatisfied with her surroundings, and generally not happy about life, Marie decides to journey 80 miles on foot to the coast of Oregon to see the ocean for the first time in 45 years and attend her granddaughter’s wedding as an unexpected guest. Along the way, she meets an extraordinary cast of characters and discovers that you’re never too old to learn something about life and about yourself. Redwood Highway features a luminous performance by septuagenarian Shirley Knight, who began her acting career 50 years ago as an ingenue acting opposite Paul Newman.(85 min)

A remarkably eccentric sex epic that is OFTEN BRILLIANT and never simple-minded or dull. – The New Yorker
May 2 -17 A self-diagnosed nymphomaniac recounts the erotic adventures of her life and her journey of self-discovery. Charlotte Gainsbourg, Christian Slater, Shia LaBeouf, Stellan Skarsgard, Uma Thurman and Willem Dafoe star in Lars von Trier’s two-part epic about gender roles, authoritarianism, religion, obsessive behavior, and lust. Danish filmmaker/provocateur Lars von Triers is perhaps best known for Dancer in the Dark, which starred Bjork and won the Palme d’Or at Cannes. Nymphomaniac: Volume I and Volume II mark Lars von Trier’s follow-up to his critically acclaimed film, Melancholia. As widely reported, the films contain graphic depictions of sexuality to a degree unprecedented in a mainstream feature film.
“American studios,” Von Triers says, “give money to directors to educate them away from their creative fingerprint, even if that’s the reason they wanted them in the first place. I’ve avoided that fate. You have to fight the urge to do a big action movie. You avoid Batman.”
Volume 1 is 118 min; Volume II 124 min
An intellectual high-wire act, death-defying, dangerous, entertaining, and delighting in its own inventiveness and daring. – RogerEbert.com
If it weren’t for the explicit sexual encounters, this could be an Ibsen or a Strindberg play. –Chicago Tribune
HANG ON TO YOUR SEAT BACK, your Bible, or the hand of a friend. Nymphomaniac ravishes the brain and leaves you begging for more. –The Guardian
WHO NEEDS 50 SHADES OF GREY WHEN YOU’VE GOT LARS VON TRIER? A provocative, nuanced and even empathetic account of one woman’s attempts to understand and perhaps reconcile the factors that are bound up in sex. IT’S THE WORK OF A FLAMBOYANT SALESMAN AND A MAJOR ARTIST.” –Film Journal International
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AWAY! –Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

AFTERMATH / April 25 & 26
2014-04-25 - 2014-04-27 | IU Fine Arts Theater – north side of Showalter Fountain, 1201 E 7th Street, Bloomington, IN, 47405, United States
April 25- 26 at 7pm at the IU Fine Arts Theater Two Nights Only!
Franek and Jozek Kalina, sons of a poor farmer, are brothers from a small village in Poland. Franek immigrated to the United States in the 80’s, and cut all ties with his family. Only when Jozek’s wife arrives in the US, without explanation, does Franek finally return to his homeland. Franek discovers that Jozek has been ostracized from the community. As Franek and Jozek struggle to rebuild their relationship, they are drawn into a gothic tale of intrigue. (104 min; in Polish w/subitltles)

Aftermath is directed by Polish filmmaker Władysław Pasikowski. His debut film, Kroll in 1991, won the and the Special Jury Prize at Canne. He is is also the author of science fiction novel “I, Gelerth.”
Underwritten by the IU Polish Studies Center.
Friday’s showing will be introduced by Jacek Zakowski. Zakowski is one of Poland’s leading journalists on television, radio and in print. He writes for the weekly magazine Polityka, directs the Journalism Faculty at Collegium Civitas in Warsaw, and is the author of more than a dozen books on Polish politics and history. He will briefly discuss the intense controversy sparked by this film’s release in Poland.

No God, No Master / April 25 & 26
2014-04-25 - 2014-04-27 | IU Woodburn Hall Theater, - next to the Lilly Library - 1100 E 7th St, Bloomington, IN, 47404
April 11 – April 26 When a series of package bombs show up on the doorsteps of prominent politicians and businessmen in the summer of 1919, U.S. Bureau of Investigation Agent William Flynn (David Strathairn) is assigned the task of finding those responsible. He becomes immersed in an investigation that uncovers an anarchist plot to destroy democracy. Based on true events of the 20s the film sets the stage for a timely drama with resoundingly similar parallels to the contemporary war on terrorism and the role government plays to defeat it. (94 min)

Filmmaker Terry Green says: The disintegration of civil liberties during times of social unrest is nothing new in America. I set out to make a film about the Sacco and Vanzetti saga, the anarchist movement they belonged to, and the cause they dedicated their lives to advancing. Like all stories that need to be understood at the mythic level, this is a part of a nation’s history that should inform the present era and future of the country. Post-World War I was a volatile period in America. The fear of Communism was sweeping the nation. The government began arresting anyone they suspected of being a radical and it didn’t take much to get on their list. This film is a tribute to those who have stood tall for human rights in the face of adversity.

Dominique Benicheti’s Cousin Jules enjoyed acclaim at festivals after its completion in 1973 but never got distribution, even in its home country. (Benicheti’s refusal to let his film be screened in anything other than CinemaScope and stereo meant most art houses couldn’t accommodate it.) Nearly lost to the annals of cinema, the film was rescued after the director’s 2011 death. Cousin Jules made its U.S. debut at the 2012 New York Film Festival, almost 40 years after it was made. An almost wordless, wholly observational account of the daily lives of the director’s cousin Jules and his wife Felice, French farmers living alone in rural Burgandy. Cousin Jules is a time capsule; although it does not exactly burst with mainstream potential, patient and observant moviegoers will be transported by this long-lost gem. (France; 1973, 2013; 91 min) Playdates: March 21, 22, 23, 28, 29; April 4, 5, 6

The Playlist: A masterpiece…Cousin Jules has finally been found and is receiving its due.
The Hollywood Reporter: For the patient viewer, particularly one seeking respite from the modern world, this day-in-a-life may be an almost spiritual experience.
Time Out New York: For 91 minutes, the pleasure of the Guiteauxes’ company is ours. We are ultimately the richer for it.

“Sometimes, movies need to move. Paolo Sorrentino’s cinema, with its rapturous camera moves, its bursts of music, and its almost naïve belief that the screen can still evoke bold emotions, is the antidote to the Cinema of Lack.” —Bilge Ebiri, Vulture

The Great Beauty has been named Best Foreign Language Film by both the Golden Globes and the 2014 Academy Awards and has been compared to Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita. “Critics’ Pick” – The New York Times Written and directed by Paolo Sorrentino (Italy; 142 min)

“The Voorman Problem” (Directors: Mark Gill and Baldwin Li). Synopsis: A psychiatrist is called to a prison to examine an inmate named Voorman, who is convinced he is a god. Fans of Sherlock on PBS will see a familiar face.

DOCUMENTARY SHORT NOMINEES
The documentaries are divided into two 90 minute programs. Program A features three films, including this year’s winner, “The Lady in Number 6,” and Program B features two films. One $5 ticket admits you into both documentary programs.

“Cavedigger” (Director Jeffrey Karoff). Synopsis: New Mexico environmental sculptor Ra Paulette carves elaborately designed and painstakingly executed sandstone caves, driven by an artistic vision that often brings him into conflict with his patrons.

“The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life” The Winner! (Directors: Malcolm Clarke and Nicholas Reed). Synopsis: At 109, Alice Herz Sommer is the world’s oldest pianist…and its oldest Holocaust survivor. At the heart of her remarkable story of courage and endurance is her passion for music. This was also the clear winner in our audience vote. Alice Herz Sommer passed away in late February at 110.

“Prison Terminal: The Last Days of Private Jack Hall” (Director: Edgar Barens). Synopsis: In a maximum security prison, the terminally ill Jack Hall faces his final days with the assistance of hospice care provided by workers drawn from the prison population.

This is your chance to see the films before the Awards show.

At these venues, each program is $5 but for $10 you can buy an Oscar Pass admitting you to all three programs (on different nights, on different weekends).

Feb 14 – March 2 (scroll to the bottom for a full schedule)

Short films, like short stories, are often overlooked. The best short subjects have all of the power, scope and resonance of a feature-length film. We are screening the best of the best: 3 programs (one devoted to animation, one to live-action and the third to documentaries) featuring all 15 Oscar nominees. This is your chance to see the films before the Awards show.

Each program will be shown on campus at Fine Arts, Woodburn Hall, as well as at Bear’s Place and the Back Door. At these venues, each program is $5 but for $10 you can buy an Oscar Pass admitting you to all three programs (on different nights, on different weekends). The programs are not rated by if they were, the Animation program would be rated PG – one of the animated films is a bit dark, but certainly no darker than the average superhero movie. It’s kid-friendly for most kids. And there are Saturday matinees for the Animation program.
AT THE BUSKIRK CHUMLEY THEATER
On Sunday, February 23rd the Live Action and Animation programs will be screened at the Buskirk Chumley Theater but with a different ticketing structure. Tickets can be purchased at the BCT box office or online in advance. One program would be $7, an Oscar Pass for both would be $10. Tickets at the door would be $8.50 and $12.50 respectively. You can purchase tickets in advance here… http://www.bctboxoffice.com/

At the screenings you can vote for your favorite film (or the film that you think will win the Oscar) – pick the winning film and you will win a ticket to another Ryder film and be entered into a contest for Dinner for Two at Farm or the Uptown Cafe.

The Dialogue (One Night Only!)
2014-02-16 19:00 | IU Fine Arts Theater – north side of Showalter Fountain, 1201 E 7th Street, Bloomington, IN, 47405, United States
A film by Wang Wo, The Dialogue documents the attempt by a group of Chinese intellectuals to circumvent the restrictive measures in place in China that prevent Chinese citizens from having free contact with the Dalai Lama, Tibet’s exiled leader. Using internet technologies they take the first step in establishing such a dialogue.
This film delves into the hostile fissures that separate nationalities within the modern People’s Republic of China. Most poignantly it includes footage of Uyghur scholar and human rights advocate Ilham Tohti discussing that divide. Appointed a visiting scholar at Indiana University in 2013, Ilham was seized at the Bejing airport before departure and forbidden to leave China. He was subjected to periods of house arrest and harassment until his re-arrest on January 15, 2014. He is accused of separatism and support for terrorism. The charges and ensuing trial are meant to silence him, making his appearance in The Dialogue that much more significant and wrenching.
Elliot Sperling will introduce the film and conduct a Q & A afterwards.
