1. ICE-Vision: Celebrity (Woody Allen, 1998)
Tuesday, September 24 at 5:30 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
ICE-Vision continues with Film Studies and English major Dafna Kaufman's selections of great films
that may be forgotten by the general public, but can be remembered and cherished through
viewings today.
Starring Kenneth Branagh, Judy Davis, Winona Ryder, Leonardo DiCaprio, and many more top notch
actors, Celebrity, Woody Allen's 1998 comedy drama, follows unsuccessful writer, Lee Simon. Lee
pursues his career and along the way meets many actors, models, and likewise famous characters
that create many funny and wild antics. While not as well-remembered as many Woody Allen films,
Celebrity's backbone of stellar performances and hilarious neuroses produces remarkable wit and
terrific laughs.

5. Lecture: Dr. William E. Wallace
Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 5:30 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art, Room S150
We have just celebrated the 500th anniversary of the unveiling of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel
ceiling. If any work of art demonstrates artistic genius, it is this well-known masterpiece. No
matter how familiar the images, no matter the trials of that crowded space, few visitors have not
felt awe standing under this titanic achievement. Like a handful of timeless monuments - the
pyramids, the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China among them -- the Sistine never fails to
astonish us. Professor William E. Wallace, a world-renowned authority on Michelangelo, will
illuminate this masterpiece and help you see it with fresh eyes. Sponsored by the Association of
Graduate Art Students.

6. Reading: Ed Pavlic - "Visiting Hours at the Color Line"
Thursday, September 26 at 7:30 PM
Cine
Ed Pavlic is the author of five books of poetry. Pavlic's new book, Visiting Hours at the Color Line,
attempts to complicate this black and white, straight-line feature of our collective imagination, and
to map its nonlinear, deeply colored timbres and hues. From daring prose poems to powerful free
verse, Pavlic's lines are musically infused, bearing tones of soul, R&B, and jazz. They join the
influence of James Baldwin with a postmodern consciousness the likes of Samuel Beckett, tracking
the experiences of American characters through situations both mundane and momentous. The
resulting poems are intense--at times even violent--ambitious, and psychological, making Visiting
Hours at the Color Line a poetic tour de force. Pavlic is professor of English at UGA.
