Classics in the BrowningDirected by Quentin TarantinoWith Kurt Russell, Zoë Bell, Rosario DawsonRated R, 114 minutes, DCPWhen talking about grindhouse cinema, it refers to both a style of low-budget, exploitation films and the often-blighted urban theatres that showed those films. When Quentin Tarantino (Death Proof) and Robert Rodriguez (Planet Terror) pulled together their double-feature Grindhouse in 2007, it extracted the grindhouse style and served it in theatres that would have previously clutched their pearls at such an idea. We cut the legs off of the Grindhouse double-feature and will be showing Death Proof, a film about a bad guy with a bad car. Following the screening will be a double feature of sorts as a presentation of 1970s grindhouse trailers will be live scored. GET TICKETS

Classics in the BrowningDirected by Lucrecia MartelWith Daniel Giménez Cacho, Lola Dueñas, Matheus NachtergaeleNot Rated, 115 minutes, DCPIn Spanish with English subtitlesArgentine writer Antonio di Benedetto wrote the novel Zama in 1956, and nearly sixty years later director Lucrecia Martel pumps the story set in the 1790s full of gasoline and hands us the matches. Zama (Daniel Giménez Cacho) is colonial middle management, working for the Spanish Crown in South America. He waits and plots and then waits and plots more for a letter from the king that will grant him a transfer from his remote town, in which he is stagnating, to a better place. He is forced to submissively accept every task entrusted to him by successive governors, who come and go as he stays behind, and unsurprisingly displaces that frustration on indigenous people.

Thad DunningRobson Professor in Political ScienceUniversity of California, Berkeley A vast literature highlights the political, social, and economic consequences of slavery. Yet previous research — particularly in political science and particularly in work on Latin America — appears to have missed important channels through which the regulation of slavery contributed crucially to state-building. In this research in progress, Dunning argues that the regulation of slavery in imperial Brazil contributed to the construction of a bureaucracy that was autonomous in many ways of slaveholder interests and propose the hypothesis that this was driven by imperatives of political survival. He then empirically examine two main vehicles through which an autonomous state was built: responses to lawsuits for freedom brought on behalf of enslaved persons and appeals for protection in the carceral system. The argument and supporting evidence may contribute new comparative insights to the understanding of state-building in the Americas.Thad Dunning is the Robson Professor of Political Science at UC Berkeley and director of the Center on the Politics of Development. His research centers on comparative politics, political economy, and quantitative methods, with a regional focus on Latin America, Africa, and India. For more information, visit the event page.

David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, will deliver a lecture in the auditorium of the Hesburgh Center for International Studies. The international aid system is facing unprecedented pressures. Rising global risks, shifting geopolitical dynamics and reduced funding have left aid efforts increasingly stretched, particularly in the world’s most fragile and conflict-affected regions. Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee and former UK Foreign Secretary, will explore these challenges and the need for a focused reform agenda. He will examine how aid can concentrate on the areas of greatest need, foster efficiency and innovation and continue its essential mission of combating extreme poverty and alleviating human suffering even in the face of tighter budgets. This event is in partnership with the Keough School’s Pulte Institute for Global Development. About the Series This event is part of the Dean's Forum on Global Affairs, designed to bring world leaders into conversation with Notre Dame students, faculty and the broader community around current challenges shaping global affairs.

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
