1. Lecture: Michael Davis
Tuesday, October 26 at 12:30 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art, Room N104

Dr. Michael Davis, Art Historian of Mount Holyoke College will be giving a lecture entitled
"Medieval Architecture and Digital Technologies"  This will be the third lecture in a series of four
centered around Gothic art, architecture, and urbanism sponsored by the Harvey Stahl Lectureship
2010, sponsored International Center of Medieval Art, The Cloisters, Metropolitan Museum of Art,
New York.

Recent development and innovation has had profound implications in the study of Gothic
architecture. New tools from AutoCAD to Google Earth have impacted visualization techniques and
research capabilities - opening up new questions about how medieval architecture can be better
understood. Digital modeling of structural and cosmetic elements of Notre Dame de Paris or
Chartres Cathedral may unlock the mysteries of medieval construction techniques, with
implications across many fields.

5. ICE-Vision Halloween: The Seventh Victim (Mark Robson, 1943)
Thursday, October 28 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.

"The greatest of producer Val Lewton's justly celebrated low-budget chillers - a beautifully
wrought story about the discovery of devil worshippers in Greenwich Village that fully lives up to
the morbid John Donne quote framing the action. Intricately plotted over its 71 minutes by
screenwriters Charles O'Neal, De Witt Bodeen, and an uncredited Lewton so that what begins
rationally winds up as something far weirder than a thriller plot, this 1943 tale of a young woman
(Kim Hunter in her first screen role) searching for her troubled sister (Jean Brooks) exudes a
distilled poetry of doom that extends to all the characters as well as to the noirish bohemian
atmosphere." -Jonathan Rosenbaum (Chicago Reader)
