3. ICE-Vision: The Spirit of the Beehive (Victor Erice, 1973)
Thursday, October 22 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE's informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.
"Arguably the finest and most beautifully wrought first film of the European 70s, a mysterious
crucible as elusive, concrete, and visually primal as anything by Herzog, Straub, Olmi or Denis.
Beehive is a graceful and potent lyric on children's vulnerable hunger, but it is also a sublime
study on cinema's poetic capacity." -Village Voice
