SUMMARY:Misfit Horror Film Series: The House with Laughing Windows
DESCRIPTION:The House with Laughing Windows (1976\, dir. Pupi Avati) – a moody and masterful giallo (Italian thriller / mystery / slasher film)\nOne of the most remarkable (albeit atypical) examples of a giallo (Italian mystery-thriller-slasher film) out there\, Pupi Avati’s The House with Laughing Windows is a masterpiece of mood and ambient creepiness whose ability to stretch an atmosphere of queasy apprehension to the absolute breaking point over the course of a feature-length film is probably second only to Nicholas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now\, made just three years previously. A young art historian named Stefano (Lino Capolicchio) comes to a remote Italian village to restore some twentieth-century frescos that depict the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian in an old church. Some rumors suggest that the deceased artist of the works actually tortured and murdered his real-life models. Meanwhile\, Stefano’s efforts to restore the frescoes get sidetracked by all the locals who have secrets they want to share with him but cannot because they keep dying under mysterious circumstances before they can actually get down to the business of telling him much of anything. This is a movie whose tensions and uneasiness build and build and build . . . Not to be missed!\nMisfit Horror is a film series dedicated to one-of-a-kind horror movies whose originality and power have been unjustly neglected because they aren’t at all what you expected. \nSunday nights at 7PM in 150 Stevenson. Sponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados. More informative flyers to follow weekly.

SUMMARY:Martin Devecka: "Some Ends of the City: Ruins and Utopia in the Ancient World"
DESCRIPTION:The Literature Department invites you to attend a talk held in conjunction with the search for a position in Mediterranean Studies: Ancient Comparative \nWhy do ruins happen? Are they caused by natural catastrophes\, invasions\, economic collapse\, state failure\, or by something else? This talk will address these questions from a new perspective\, integrating sociological comparison of ancient societies including Arabia\, Athens\, and Rome with analysis of ancient writings about ruins to suggest that literary fantasies about post-urban life may play as important a part in bringing about the destruction of cities as any of the causes conventionally invoked by historians. \nMartin Devecka is a Mellon Postdoctoral Associate at Yale University\, where he received his Ph.D. in Classics and Comparative Literature in 2012. He has taught there and at Brown University on subjects ranging from Latin political thought to Greco-Roman zoology. His research interests include animals\, the history of technology\, and the cultures of the Red Sea.

SUMMARY:Misfit Horror Film Series: Who Can Kill a Child?
DESCRIPTION:Misfit Horror  \nA film series dedicated to one-of-a-kind horror movies whose originality and power have been unjustly neglected because they aren’t at all what you expected. \n  \nJanuary 19th – Who Can Kill a Child? One of the most disturbing horror films from a decade that was conspicuously filled with them\, Who Can Kill a Child? takes The Birds (1963) and replaces Alfred Hitchcock’s bloodthirsty birds with an island full of homicidal children. Directed by Narciso Ibáñez Serrador (whose other horror film of note is the wonderfully sordid and atmospheric The House That Screamed from 1969)\, this Spanish production opens with a documentary montage of atrocity footage from around the world (the Holocaust\, the Korean War\, the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971\, etc.) to polemically motivate the reasons why the children of the small island of Almanzora have collectively murdered the adult population there. Arriving in Almanzora on holiday\, the baby-expecting couple of Tom (Lewis Fiander) and Evelyn (Prunella Ransome) discover that the island appears to be deserted. Shops are untended\, no bellboys are waiting in the foyers of the island’s hotels\, restaurants are totally devoid of patrons or servers. The benign suspicion that the inhabitants are all on siesta\, however\, soon shifts to doubts and fears about the children who start to appear everywhere. Though not a gory film\, Who Can Kill a Child? remains a supremely unsettling film that will linger with you for a long time\, like it or lump it. Not to be missed! \n  \nSunday nights at 7PM in 150 Stevenson. Sponsored (or at least turned a blind eye) by the Literature Department\, and produced by the usual gang of aficionados.

SUMMARY:1930's FIlm Series: "Chapaev (1934)"
DESCRIPTION:An important example of socialist realism in Soviet cinema\, Chapaev charts the ideological development and refinement of Chapaev (Boris Babochkin)\, a charismatic leader of a Red Army division. Under the guidance of his accompanying Party commissar\, Dmitri Furmanov (Boris Blinov)\, the impetuous and proud Chapaev learns important lessons in the dialectic of spontaneity and consciousness. Released on the seventeenth anniversary of the October revolution and directed by Georgii and Sergei Vasil’ev (often referred to as the Vasil’ev Brothers\, even though they weren’t fraternally related)\, Chapaev was the most popular Soviet film of its time and a huge hit internationally. Not to be missed! \n\n\n\nFor the remainder of the quarter\, we will be showing 1930s films from different countries each week. Same time\, same place. All are welcome. Tell your family\, invite your friends.\n\n\n
