5. Screening and Discussion: The Band's Visit
Tuesday, January 23 at 7:30 PM
Cine, 234 W. Hancock Ave.
The Athens Jewish Film Festival and the Willson Center will co-sponsor a special screening of "The Band's Visit," the 2007 Israeli film that is the source of the current hit Broadway musical of the same name. A public reception with hors d'oeuvres from The National will begin at 6:30 PM in the CineLab, and a panel discussion with UGA faculty members will follow the screening. The event is free and open to the public, with seats for the screening available on a first-come, first-served basis. "The Band's Visit," directed by Eran Kolirin, tells the story of the members of an Egyptian police orchestra scheduled to perform at a cultural center in Israel. Through mishandled travel arrangements, they become stranded for a day and night in a tiny Israeli desert town and find brief, poignant, and often hilarious friendship with its residents.

6. Lecture: Amanda Ross-Ho
Wednesday, January 24 at 12:15 PM
Lamar Dodd Building Room S151
Amanda Ross-Ho received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a MFA from the University of Southern California. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles. Ross-Ho has had a multitude of solo exhibitions, including shows at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2012), Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland, OH (2014), and Praz-Delavallade, Paris (2015). She also participated in the 2008 Whitney Biennial. Inspiration for Ross-Ho's work comes from objects in the studio and often tends to be autobiographical. Yet, when recreated for a gallery setting, the objects shift in scale, deliberately creating a skewed and sometimes hilarious or unsettling perspectives. Her works address everyday life in random order, as objects are installed on walls, floors, and ceiling to create an immersive experience for the viewer.
