Learning Beyond the Classics: Voicing Intergenerational Trauma in Postwar Korea and Japan through Contemporary Cinema Directed by Hirokazu Kore-edaWith Lily Franky, Sakura Ando, Mayu Matsuoka Rated R, 121 minutesIn Japanese with English subtitles Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and nominated for the Best Foreign Language Oscar, Hirokazu Kore-eda's film full of contemplation and compassion furthers his career's comparisons to Yasujiro Ozu. On the margins of Tokyo, a dysfunctional band of outsiders are united by fierce loyalty, a penchant for petty theft and playful grifting. When the young son is arrested, secrets are exposed that upend their tenuous, below-the-radar existence and test their quietly radical belief that it is love—not blood—that defines a family.

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

Join in for 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 place and be led by local artist Kay Westhues. Come ready to share a sketch (sketches should be no larger than 9” x 12”) of your own, created in response to this prompt: Sound and Place DrawingsThink of a favorite place in your town, neighborhood, or region—somewhere meaningful or interesting. Head to that spot with your preferred drawing materials in hand.Once there, settle into a comfortable position. Close your eyes and tune in deeply to the sounds around you. Notice the relationships between different types of sound—natural and human-made, nearby and far off, present or remembered. Try moving to a few other locations within the space. What changes? What stays the same?Draw some of the sounds that you hear. You might focus on one sound and make marks that describe the sound, or draw several sounds together to create a visual representation of the layered soundscape. Try drawing with your eyes closed to connect even more closely with the sounds. Your drawings can be abstract or representational.This prompt was inspired by Pauline Oliveros, a composer who developed and utilized the practice of Deep Listening in her work. 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.
