2. Screening and Q&A: Hal
Tuesday, October 9 at 8 PM
Cine, 234 West Hancock Ave.
http://athenscine.com/movie/hal
Please join us for a live video Q&A with filmmaker Amy Scott and score composer Heather McIntosh, following the 8 PM showing of Hal on Tuesday, October 9th. Both Heather and Amy have ties to Athens and have found widespread accomplishments in their fields in LA and beyond. Our moderators for the evening will be Todd Kelly and Dottie Alexander, both of whom are active at Cine and longtime friends of both of our guests.
Although Hal Ashby directed a remarkable string of acclaimed, widely admired classics throughout the 1970s -- HAROLD AND MAUDE, THE LAST DETAIL, SHAMPOO, COMING HOME, BEING THERE -- he is often overlooked amid the crowd of luminaries from his generation. This exuberant portrait from documentary filmmaker Amy Scott explores that curious oversight, using rare archival materials, interviews, personal letters, and audio recordings to reveal a passionate, obsessive artist whose films were an elusive blend of honesty, irreverence, and humor, with an unprecedented insight into the human condition.

4. Symposium on the Book (10/12)
Friday, October 12 at 2:30 PM
Special Collections Libraries Room 277
Patricia Cahill will deliver the 2018 Symposium on the Book's plenary talk, "Archival Homeplaces: Shakespeare and African American Performance in the Early Twentieth Century."
Cahill is associate professor of English at Emory University, where she specializes in Shakespeare and early modern literature, especially drama. She is the author of Unto the Breach: Martial Formations, Historical Trauma, and the Early Modern Stage (Oxford University Press, 2008). She has also published articles and book chapters on such subjects as military technology and mathematics, animal matter and affect theory, and the senses in performance. She is currently working on two projects: a book that examines the affective dynamics of early modern stage properties, especially animal skins, and a study of Black Shakespeare and the Jim Crow South.
The Symposium on the Book is an interdisciplinary Willson Center Research Seminar that aims to explore the nature of the book in all its forms, across time and space. The goals are twofold, to pose fundamental questions such as: what makes a book a book, how have cultural attitudes toward books and book making changed, are digital media recuperating or killing print media? And to investigate and analyze the various media that contribute to the production of books such as ink, e-ink, paper, screen, manuscript, print, pixels, binding, and book arts, as well as the production processes themselves. Cahill's talk will be followed by a small reception. This event is free and open to the public.

Vision: The Social Ecology Studio is a multi-researcher, collaborative art workspace dedicated to advancing sustainability and resilience through the arts. Capitalizing on art's ability to engage, inform and activate a diverse range of constituents, the studio acts as a bridge, humanizing and connecting community members and policy makers with issues entrenched in social ecology.

Granting Priority will be given to projects that fulfill one or more of the following objectives:
- The project engages current social and/or ecological issues.
- The project is collaborative.
- The artist collaborates with researchers from non-arts disciplines in one of the following manners: bringing art thinking into the workflow of non-arts discipline research, utilizing the research of non-arts discipline(s) in the ideation and/or methodology of the artist's workflow, utilizing non-arts research in the production of the work.
- The project interacts with the community outside of the University.
- The project serves as a pilot for a CURO research project proposal, Sustainability Grant Proposal, Willson Center Graduate Research Award application, or other UGA or external research opportunity.
Grant Proposals must include a written statement no more than one page in length (single spaced, 1 inch margin, 11 point type), identifying the proposed project and its alignment with studio vision and granting priorities. On a second page include a general budget outline and short paragraph justifying the budget expenditures.

Unfunded proposals may still be eligible for facility and mentorship support by invitation.

UGA will host the 2018 National Conference for the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) on the theme of "Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability." The conference will be held in partnership with the UGA Arts Council and in conjunction with the November Spotlight on the Arts festival.
The 2018 theme, Arts Environments: Design, Resilience, and Sustainability, is an invitation to explore the relationship between creativity and diverse cultural locations, by framing discussions about design, resilience, and sustainability in context of interdisciplinary artistic and environmental practice. The theme offers an opportunity to think broadly about the ecology of the arts and their environments, in terms of performance, design, and engineering. A land and sea grant institution inextricable from the town of Athens and the broader ecologies of Georgia and the Southeast, the University of Georgia will provide a rich context for thinking creatively about Arts Environments globally.
