Browning Live ScoresDirected by Alejandro JodorowkyWith Alejandro Jodorowsky, Horacio Salinas, Zamira Saunders.Rated R, 114 minutes, DCPIn English and Spanish with English subtitlesWhen it debuted at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, The Holy Mountain caused twin tidal waves of pearl-clutching and whispered what-was-that's. Writer/director Alejandro Jodorowsky's melange of existential symbolism in The Holy Mountain gained more and more traction through the decades and now is a common reflection point for audiences looking to take his yellow-brick spiritual quest. Also starring in the film, the Alchemist (Jodorowsky) assembles together a group of people from all walks of life to represent the planets in the solar system. The intention is to put his recruits through strange mystical rites and divest them of their worldly baggage before embarking on a trip to Lotus Island. There they ascend the Holy Mountain to displace the immortal gods who secretly rule the universe.Helping us along on that trip will be a live score by After Ours, a two-man wrecking crew with influences ranging from modern jazz to grunge to instrumental hip hop & experimental music. Hybrid 7-string guitarist Eli Kahn creates sonic layer cakes with loops atop drummer Arthur Schroeder's ever-expansive jazz beat backdrops to create a unique sound that is all their own and will serve as yet another way to rewatch, decode, and unpack The Holy Mountain.

Stephen B. KaplanAssociate Professor of Political Science and International AffairsInstitute for International Economic PolicyGeorge Washington University, Elliott School of International Affairs This talk presents concepts from Kaplan's book Globalizing Patient Capital: The Political Economy of Chinese Finance in the Americas, published by Cambridge University Press. China has extended financial ties with economically risky countries in Latin America as part of a globalized industrial policy that internationalizes its firms, secures access to resources, and cultivates trade opportunities, primarily through its policy banks. While China openly criticizes austerity tied to Western lending, its IMF partnership often supports similar policies, and its creditors manage risk with resource-backed loans and forbearance rather than outright debt forgiveness. This divergence in debt strategy, combined with China’s growing influence in global finance, complicates multilateral debt relief and regional growth, as China’s willingness to cooperate on debt relief depends on its strategic interests and position within international financial institutions. The book uses cross-national and comparative case study analysis to demonstrate these patterns, offering new insights into the political economy of sovereign debt and development in the region. Cosponsored by the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies. For more information, visit the event page.  Sponsored by the Kellogg Institute at the Keough School of Global Affairs.
