6. ICE-Vision: Le Doulos (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1962)
Thursday, February 3 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.
"Jean-Pierre Melville's existentialized gangster films are one of the glories of the French cinema,
American forms played out with European self-consciousness. This 1962 effort stars Jean-Paul
Belmondo as an informer on the lam, but plot pales before Melville's detailed noir imagery of dingy
hotel rooms, back alleys, and subterranean passages. Melville's love for American films (he was a
man of taste as well as talent) was one of the most profound influences on the New Wave
generation. In French with subtitles. 108 min." -Dave Kehr (Chicago Reader)

10. Fragmented Light Installation
Miller Learning Center
http://www.patriciavandalen.com
Patricia Van Dalen (1955), a Venezuelan-born artist, has long been interested in abstraction,
color, and the intervention of large architectural spaces. Fragmented Light (2011), created
specifically for UGA's Miller Learning Center, is a composition made of brightly-colored adhesive
tapes that transform the walls between the MLC's third and fourth floors. The art work
accompanies students as they climb up and down the stairs, lending chromatic vibrancy to a place
of study. The installation was created with the help of student and staff volunteers from UGA and
the Athens community. It will be on view until May 21.

11. French Film Festival
Begins February 7 at 8 PM
Continues each Monday in February at 8 PM)
Tate Theatre
The festival will feature recent award-winning French films, all shown on 35mm prints. Admission
is $2. Each film will be introduced by French film specialist Richard Neupert, coordinator of the
film studies program in UGA's department of theatre and film studies. This year's lineup
emphasizes top acting performances in movies by some of France's most critically successful and
popular directors. The festival begins Feb. 7 with the World War II historical melodrama A Secret
(2007) by Claude Miller, based on a true story about a man who discovers secrets about his Jewish
family, the war and his origins. "It is the trio of actresses Julie Depardieu, Ludivine Sagnier and
Cecile de France who make this movie sparkle and burn," said Neupert. On Feb. 14, the
autobiographical film The Beaches of Agnes (2008) by Agnes Varda will be shown. Neupert refers
to Varda as "certainly the most important woman filmmaker in all of film history." For her 80th
birthday, Varda made a very personal, lyrical film about her life and movies as a sort of present to
herself and the world. The movie includes scores of important guest appearances from Catherine
Deneuve to Harrison Ford. Third in the series is a Feb. 21 offering by veteran director Claude
Lelouch, Roman de gare (2007) (loosely translated to Airplane Novel), a narrative about a popular
woman novelist (played by Fanny Ardant) and her ghost-writer (Dominique Pinon, from Amelie and
Micmacs). "The deceptively beautiful characters and settings are complicated by jarring plot twists,"
said Neupert. Finally, Summer Hours (2009) by Olivier Assayas (director of last year's Carlos) will be
shown Feb. 28. Neupert describes it as "a touching portrait" of the contemporary French family,
whose values and traditions are in flux. The film features Juliette Binoche and is a winner of the
best foreign film from the New York Film Critics Circle.
