3. ICE-Vision: Wild Grass (Alain Resnais, 2009)
Wednesday, September 26 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
http://www.facebook.com/groups/120740834290/
ICE-Vision continues with Film Studies major Daniel LoPilato's weekly selections of eclectic,
idiosyncratic, psychotronic, or otherwise eccentric excursions into world cinema.
At 87, legendary French New Wave director Alain Resnais remains youthful as ever, riffing on the
romantic comedy and the art of filmmaking itself. An aging househusband in a bland marriage
discovers the wallet of a mysterious and strangely beautiful woman, and the two pursue a bizarre
romance that distorts reality and retreats into a dream world of its own making.
"Resnais's people are all contrivers of meaning, tale-tellers compelled like Beckett's ghosts to build
and rebuild the scaffolding of memory and history as a way of insisting on their own significance."
- Michael Atkinson, Moving Image Source

11. Opportunity: Participants Needed for Educational Psychology Research
Research participants are needed for a Dissertation Research on creativity, specifically, divergent
thinking. Several tasks will be administered during the data collection. Six open-ended questions
will be asked, and one questionnaire, one demographic information form, and a short text will be
given. They are more like games than tests. The process will take no more than an hour, and no
names are to be recorded. If you participate, you might learn something about yourself and your
creative potentials. Each participant will be met individually in Aderhold Hall or online based on the
preference of the research volunteers. The sessions will be recorded through computer software
known as "wimba," and a tape recorder. If you would like to participate in this study, please contact
Selcuk Acar at [log in to unmask] or 706-461-4030.
