SUMMARY:Prima Facie
DESCRIPTION:written by Suzie Miller\ndirected by Justin Martin \nJodie Comer’s (Killing Eve) Olivier and Tony Award-winning performance in Suzie Miller’s gripping one-woman play returns to cinemas.
 
Tessa is a young\, brilliant barrister. She has worked her way up from working class origins to be at the top of her game; defending; cross examining and winning. An unexpected event forces her to confront the lines where the patriarchal power of the law\, burden of proof and morals diverge.
 
Prima Facie takes us to the heart of where emotion and experience collide with the rules of the game.
 
Justin Martin directs this solo tour de force\, captured live in 2022 during a sold out run at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End.

SUMMARY:Mike Richison’s Election Collection: 2004-2024
DESCRIPTION:Mike Richison’s Election Collection: 2004-2020 showcases 20 years of design and video art inspired by the presidential election cycle. Richison began working with this topic in 2004 when he created a short video loop of George W. Bush drinking water during the debates. This evolved into performances and interactive video projects that break down language into musical and abstract elements. \nThe culmination of these explorations is Electo Electro 2024\, an interactive installation that enables participants to produce techno-inspired beats using video clips of presidential candidates. This project combines iMacs\, iPads\, custom software\, and the housing from decommissioned Diebold AccuVote TS voting booths. Users can remix videos from political rallies and debates in a structured sixteen beat loop. An iPad-based touchscreen design parodies the system employed by the AccuVote\, a voting system that was difficult to audit and susceptible to hacking. \nAs a parody\, the format of Richison’s installation resembles a polling station\, while the branding and graphic elements of the project hearken back to vintage electronic devices. The AccuVote debuted in the early 2000s as the poster child of the Help America Vote Act. After its widespread adoption\, a group of researchers discovered a long list of vulnerabilities that can lead to stolen votes\, lost votes\, or a failure of the computer itself. The project deals with expectation\, failure\, and vulnerability \nOn the opening day and throughout the run of the exhibit\, Richison will perform and demonstrate this project. His goal is to “encourage users to examine media and become individuals who can control media\, rather than be controlled by it.” \nThis event is being held in conjuction with ArtNOW’s Mike Richison\, Electo Electro 2024 on October 4 at 10:15 AM.  \nAbout the artist\, Mike Richison: Mike Richison is a multimedia artist and an Associate Professor at Monmouth University\, where he teaches motion graphics. He employs a variety of approaches to artmaking\, including sculpture\, graphic design\, and interactive video. His work utilizes found objects\, such as turntables\, voting booths\, and scavenged video clips as well as the Max MSP Jitter programming environment. Richison has exhibited at Autonomous Cultural Centre Medika (Zagreb\, Croatia); Figment NYC and Art in Odd Places (New York); and Peters Valley School of Craft and Morris Museum (New Jersey). His projects have received attention in outlets such as Leonardo\, VICE\, FACT Magazine\, Hyperallergic\, WABC-TV Channel 7 News New York\, and The Washington Post. Before moving to New Jersey in 2007\, he lived in the Detroit\, MI\, area for several years.

SUMMARY:Fighting Climate Change at Home: Homegrown National Park
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, Jan. 23\, 2024\, at 7 p.m. in Pollak Theater\, best selling author Doug Tallamy\, Ph.D.\, professor of Entomology at University of Delaware and author of Nature’s Best Hope and the Nature of Oaks will present on what you can do in your own yard or balcony to fight climate change\, create climate resiliency\, and create beauty in your own backyard. Fighting Climate Change at Home: Homegrown National Park will present listeners with a road map on how to fight climate change and create a more ecologically resilient landscape. \nToday\, there are more than 44 million acres of turf grass in the U.S.\, an area larger than New England. Turf grass is the worst plant choice for fighting climate change because it is the worst option for sequestering carbon. Our parks\, preserves\, and remaining wildlands—no matter how grand in scale—are too small to sequester the amount of carbon needed to impact climate change. Moreover\, they are also too small and separated from one another to sustain the native trees\, plants\, insects\, and animals on which our ecosystems depend. These systems must be resilient if we are to have climate resiliency. We now must store carbon outside of parks and preserves\, largely on private property\, where we live\, work\, shop\, and farm. Thus the concept for Homegrown National Park: a national challenge to create diverse ecosystems in our yards\, communities\, and surrounding lands by reducing lawn\, planting natives\, and removing invasive plants\, and\, in so doing\, fight the biodiversity crisis and climate change simultaneously. \nThe talk will be followed by Q&A and a book signing. The public is encouraged to bring their own copies of Tallamy books for signature. This will be the first presentation of the 2024 Climate Crisis Teach-in.

SUMMARY:BORROMINI AND BERNINI: THE CHALLENGE FOR PERFECTION
DESCRIPTION:A journey into the great beauty of Baroque Rome\, when the city was the centre of western art and where every ambitious painter\, sculptor and architect had to be. \nThis is the story of the most famous artistic rivalry of all time\, the one between Borromini and Bernini\, but also the story of Borromini’s rivalry with himself: a genius so absorbed by his art that he turns it into a demon that devours him from the inside forcing him to choose death to reach eternity. \nBorromini deprived himself of everything to pursue a dream: to conquer Rome. It is the story of the architectural revolution of a solitary maestro who changed the appearance of Rome forever\, by pushing himself to his limit\, but also by battling conventions and prejudices\, with the humility to learn from the past to invent the future\, with the courage to pursue an idea despite knowing he would pay the price in the end. \nEstimated runtime: 102 minutes

SUMMARY:As We Forgive
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a World Cinema Series film screening/discussion illuminating the theme “Wartime Lives: Enduring and Transcending Violence and Occupation” by analyzing the message and impact of the film As We Forgive (2009). \nDirected by Laura Waters Hinson and narrated by Mia Farrow comes the award-winning documentary of two Rwandan women who struggle with the face-to-face encounter with the men who slaughtered their families during the 1994 genocide.

Overwhelmed by an enormous backlog of court cases\, the government released 50\,000 perpetrators back to the very communities they helped to destroy. Without the hope of full justice\, Rwanda has turned to a new solution of reconciliation. Come experience through their eyes the journey from death to life through forgiveness. \n(District of Columbia: Image Bearer Films\, 2010)\, 54 minutes \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Claude Taylor\, Director For Academic Transition And Inclusion.

SUMMARY:From this Day Forward
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a film screening/panel discussion of the film From This Day Forward with director Sharon Shattuck and her parents Trisha and Marcia Shuttuck. \nWith her own wedding just around the corner\, filmmaker Sharon Shattuck returns home to examine the mystery at the heart of her upbringing: How her transgender father Trisha and her straight-identified mother Marcia stayed together against all odds. From This Day Forward is a moving portrayal of an American family coping with the most intimate of transformations. As the film evolves into a conversation about love and acceptance in a modern American family\, it raises questions relevant to all of us. As individuals how do we adapt to sustain long-term love and relationships? Where do sexuality and gender intersect? And how do families stay together\, when external forces are pulling them apart? \n \n  \nThis event is being held in conjunction with the juried gallery exhibition Aging and the Lived Experiences of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming (T/GNC) Older Adults: Narratives through Art on view in the Pollak Gallery January 23 – March 11. Find more information about the exhibit here. \nThis event is sponsored by: Monmouth University’s LGBT+ Older Adult Project\, The Center for the Arts\, and The Intercultural Center.

SUMMARY:Budrus
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a World Cinema Series film screening/discussion illuminating the theme “Wartime Lives: Enduring and Transcending Violence and Occupation” by analyzing the message and impact of the film Budrus (Israeli/Palestinian/American\, 2009). \nBudrus is an award-winning feature documentary film about Palestinian community organizer\, Ayed Morrar\, who unites Palestinian political factions and invites Israeli supporters to join an unarmed movement to save his village of Budrus from destruction by Israel’s Separation Barrier. Success eludes them until his 15-year-old daughter\, Iltezam\, launches a women’s contingent that quickly moves to the front lines. Struggling side by side\, father and daughter unleash an inspiring\, yet little-known\, movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories that is still gaining ground today. \nIn an action-filled documentary chronicling this movement from its infancy\, Budrus shines a light on people who choose nonviolent strategies to confront a threat. The movie is directed by award-winning filmmaker Julia Bacha (co-writer and editor of Control Room and co-director Encounter Point)\, and produced by Bacha\, Palestinian journalist Rula Salameh\, and filmmaker and human rights advocate Ronit Avni (formerly of WITNESS\, Director of Encounter Point). \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Claude Taylor\, Director For Academic Transition And Inclusion and Saliba Sarsar\, Professor in the department of Political Science and Sociology.

SUMMARY:The Clay Bird
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a World Cinema Series film screening/discussion illuminating the theme “Wartime Lives: Enduring and Transcending Violence and Occupation” by analyzing the message and impact of the film The Clay Bird (Bengali\, 2002). \nThe Clay Bird is a 2002 Bengali War-drama film was written and directed by Tareque Masud. It was his debut feature film. Based on Tareque’s story the screenplay was co-written by Tareque and Catherine Masud. \nSet against a 1960’s backdrop leading up to Bangladesh’s independence from Pakistan\, THE CLAY BIRD tells the story of Anu\, a boy sent away by his father to an Islamic school. Far from his family and the warmth of his region’s Hindu festivities\, Anu struggles to break out of his shell and adapt to the school’s harsh monastic life. As the political divisions in the country intensify\, an increasing split develops between the school’s students\, just as Anu’s parents find themselves growing apart. Rather than be torn in half\, Anu must decide which side he falls upon in this complex tale of tolerance\, diversity\, and the practice of Islam in a crises-ridden world. \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Dr. Rekha Datta\, Professor in the department of Political Science and Sociology and Dr. Golam M. Mathbor\, Professor in the School of Social Work

SUMMARY:Korkoro
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a World Cinema Series film screening/discussion illuminating the theme “Wartime Lives: Enduring and Transcending Violence and Occupation” by analyzing the message and impact of the film Korkoro (France\, 2009). \nIn this passionate WWII drama\, a tightly-knit family of Gypsies journeys through occupied France\, trying to avoid the violent Vichy patrols. Directed with wit and vigor by Tony Gatlif (Latcho Drom)\, Korkoro unearths the hidden story of the Romany people’s joys and struggles during the war. \nAlong the way a young French orphan named Claude (Mathias Laliberté) joins their ranks\, and is initiated into their culture. Under the tutelage of acrobatic wild man Taloche (James Thiérrée)\, Claude learns to love his adoptive family. As the Vichy government passes a law restricting their movement\, they avoid capture with the help of a local mayor and schoolteacher\, who also have ties to the Resistance. But the longer they avoid arrest\, the more dangerous their lives become. \nWith free-spirited humor and soaring emotion\, Korkoro is a revelatory movie about a little known chapter in WWII history. The phenomenal performances\, especially Thiérrée’s intensely physical efforts\, truly make history come alive. \nThe discussion of the film will be led by Christopher DeRosa\, Associate Professor in the department of History and Anthropology and Mihaela Moscaliuc\, Associate Professor in the department of English
