MFA Students Pick Some Films for Us to WatchDirected by Federico FelliniWith Balduin Baas, Clara Colosimo, Elizabeth LabiNot Rated, 70 minutesIn Italian with English subtitlesWith a scheduled introduction by Miharu Yano!Abounding with Fellini's trademark rich imagery and expressive style, Orchestra Rehearsal is possibly his most satirical and overtly political film. As well, it marks the final collaboration between Fellini and legendary composer Nino Rota, due to the latter's death in 1979. An allegorical pseudo-documentary, the film depicts an Italian TV crew's visit to a dilapidated auditorium (a converted 13th-century church) to meet an orchestra rehearsing under a tyrannical conductor. The crew interviews the various musicians who each speak lovingly about their chosen instruments; however, as petty squabbles break out amid the different factions of the ensemble, the meeting descends into anarchy and vandalism. A destructive crescendo ensues before the musicians attempt to regroup and play together once more in perfect harmony. GET TICKETS

About the Exhibit This exhibit traces the global journey of Dante’s masterpiece through rare and valuable printed editions, highlighting how translators, artists, and printers have popularized and reshaped the Commedia. These volumes reveal a dynamic dialogue between Dante’s poetry and the world. A global literary perspective transforms Dante from a monumental yet isolated figure of the European Middle Ages into a central presence in the ongoing international conversation about humanity, the universe, time, eternity, and the power of literature. This exhibit is co-sponsored by the Center for Italian Studies and the Devers Program in Dante Studies. It is curated by Salvatore Riolo, Notre Dame Italian Studies doctoral candidate, and co-curators Giulia Maria Gliozzi, Notre Dame Italian Studies doctoral candidate; Inha Park, Notre Dame Italian Studies doctoral candidate; and Peter Scharer, Yale Comparative Literature doctoral candidate. Theodore J. Cachey Jr., Notre Dame, and Jacob Blakesley, Sapienza Università di Roma, served as consultants on the exhibit. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment. All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours.Open to undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff, postdocs, alumni, friends, and the public.

New at the BrowningDirected by Jiao ZiWith Michelle Yeoh, Crystal Lee, Vincent Rodriguez IIIRated PG-13, 144 minutesWhen Xu Zhonglin wrote the novel Investiture of the Gods in the 1500s, he didn't expect one, let alone two, animated adaptations to sweep China (and then the world). In particular with Ne Zha 2, this direct sequel has become both the highest-grossing animated film and the highest-grossing non-English language film of all time by raking in over $2,000,000,000. While the results are staggering, the story's roots still hold well to the 16th-century source material: A rebellious young boy, Ne Zha, is feared by the gods and born to mortal parents with wild, uncontrolled powers. Now that he's faced with an ancient force intent on destroying humanity, he must grow up to become the hero the world needs. GET TICKETS
