So much art, so little time! Join in for this 15-minute lunchtime program, where a member of the museum's education staff will lead a brief, interactive exploration of a single work of art in the permanent collection. Not all works on view take center stage, so join us for this opportunity to take a deep dive into a piece that you might not have noticed on a previous stroll through the galleries. Gain new perspectives on an old favorite, or engage with something completely new! After our time in the galleries, participants can explore other works in the Museum or enjoy a 10 percent discount at Ivan’s Cafe. Originally published at raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu.

Classics in the Browning Directed by Chantal Akerman With Delphine Seyrig, Jan Decorte, Henri Storck Not Rated, 201 minutes In French with English subtitles A singular work in film history that recently topped the Sight and Sound decennial poll for the best film of all time, Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles meticulously details, with a sense of impending doom, the daily routine of a middle-aged widow—whose chores include making the beds, cooking dinner for her son, and turning the occasional trick. In its enormous spareness, Akerman's film seems simple, but it encompasses an entire world. Whether seen as an exacting character study or one of cinema's most hypnotic and complete depictions of space and time, Jeanne Dielman is an astonishing, compelling movie experiment, one that has been analyzed and argued over for decades. *Free for ND, SMC, HC, IUSB, and high school students.

Join an evening of sketching, community, and inspiration centered around themes found in the exhibition Homecoming: Walter Osborne’s Portraits of Dublin, 1880–1900. This month’s session will focus on field drawing in the Charles B. Hayes Family Sculpture Park (weather location in the galleries) and will be led by local artist Kelly Harrington. Come ready to share a sketch (sketches should be no larger than 9” x 12”) of your own, created in response to this prompt: Choose one natural object—either living or inanimate—from your own yard or a location nearby to draw from life. This could be anything that catches your eye: a leaf, a feather, a rock, a branch, a patch of moss, or even an insect or small plant. Use any drawing medium you’re comfortable with. Your drawing can be quick and expressive or more detailed and precise—but work only while observing the object in real time. Limit your drawing session to no more than one hour to keep the focus on direct observation. On the same page as your drawing, be sure to include the following:The location (where you found or observed the object)The time of dayThe name of the object, if you know itAny notes or reflections on what you discovered while drawingBefore you finish, take a clear photograph of your subject to bring with you to our next session. During the program, we’ll share sketches, discuss artistic choices and techniques, find inspiration in each other’s and Osborne’s work, and take on a new sketching challenge inspired by this month’s theme. Local Lines is open to artists aged 15 and up. This program is part of The Big Draw, the world's largest drawing celebration, which takes place across the globe every year in October. It is for anyone who loves to draw, as well as those who think they can't. The festival promotes drawing as a universal language that has the power to change lives and unite people of any age, background, race, or religion from around the globe.

Learning Beyond the Classics: Voicing Intergenerational Trauma in Postwar Korea and Japan through Contemporary Cinema Directed by Yasujiro Ozu With Setsuko Hara, Chishu Ryu, Chieko Higashiyama Not Rated, 137 minutes In Japanese with English subtitles A profoundly stirring evocation of elemental humanity and universal heartbreak, Tokyo Story is a crowning achievement of the unparalleled Yasujiro Ozu.

Featuring lovely performances from Ozu regulars Chishu Ryu and Setsuko Hara, Tokyo Story plumbs and deepens the director's recurring theme of generational conflict, creating what is without question one of cinema's mightiest masterpieces.

MFA Students Pick Some Films for Us to WatchDirected by Giuseppe Patroni GriffiWith Elizabeth Taylor, Ian Bannen, Andy WarholNot Rated, 105 minutesIn English and Italian with English subtitlesWith a scheduled introduction by Paul Cunningham, the Creative Writing Program manager, Department of English.In what remains the most obscure, bizarre, and wildly misunderstood film of her entire career—and perhaps even 1970s Italian cinema—Identikit (aka The Driver's Seat) stars Elizabeth Taylor as a disturbed woman who arrives in Rome to find a fragmented city. From there, Taylor navigates autocratic law, leftist violence, and her own increasingly unhinged mission to find the most dangerous liaison of all. Oscar® nominee Ian Bannen (The Offence), Mona Washbourne (The Collector), and Andy Warhol (!!!) co-star in this hallucinatory neo-noir, which was photographed by three-time Oscar® winner Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now, The Last Emperor).
