2. ICE-Vision: Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (Almodovar, 1988)
Thursday, October 16 at 6 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
http://www.facebook.com/groups/120740834290/
ICE-Vision continues with Film Studies and English major Dafna Kaufman's selections of great films that may be forgotten by the general public, but can be remembered and cherished through viewings today.
Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is a 1988 Spanish black comedy-drama film written and directed by Pedro Almodovar. The film brought Almodovar to widespread international attention: it was nominated for the 1988 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and won five Goya Awards including Best Film. Vincent Canby of The New York Times wrote, "In "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, "Mr. Almodovar sets out to charm rather than shock. That he succeeds should not come as a surprise. The common denominator of all Almodovar films, even the one that winds up in an ecstatic murder-suicide pact, is their great good humor."

6. Visiting Artist: Amanda Concha-Holmes
Monday, October 20 through Friday, October 24
http://willson.uga.edu/event/amanda-concha-holmes-visiting-fellow/
Amanda Concha-Holmes' work as a visual and ecological anthropologist embraces the notion of applied documentary filmmaking to further human understanding of and collaboration in multispecies encounters through evocative ethnography. Specifically, she is developing a conceptual framework for an applied, feminist, postcolonial visual anthropology that is dedicated to reframing methodological techniques. She promotes the use of art, sound, videography and an inclination for anthropological insight to improve collaborative conservation projects that raise awareness of intersections of power dynamics that include race, region, gender, class and others elements of human-ecological relationships that are integral and must be visible in policy-making decisions and interpretations of geographical space.

9. Opportunity: 4 minutes, 33 seconds Competition
Deadline: Friday, October 17
http://arts.uga.edu
The UGA Arts Council is seeking graduate students to participate in the inaugural "4 minutes, 33 seconds: Spotlight on Scholarship" competition. The event, which will award two prizes of $433 each, will give the campus community insight into the scholarship and research in the arts conducted by University of Georgia graduate students.
For the competition, graduate students have 4 minutes, 33 seconds to describe their research. They can use up to 33 visual aid slides to help explain the topic. The event will be held at 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10 in the Chapel, as part of the 2014 Spotlight on the Arts festival.
The Spotlight event is inspired by John Cage's landmark 1952 composition 4'33," which calls for a pianist simply to sit silently at a piano for exactly 4 minutes and 33 seconds. Cage's 4'33" challenged audiences to reconsider the function of art and the borders between traditional art disciplines and between artistic practice and philosophy.
Graduate students pursuing master of arts or doctorates in the arts must sign up by Oct. 17 by emailing [log in to unmask] and CC'ing your department's Arts Council representative (for a list of Arts Council representatives, see http://arts.uga.edu/about/uga-arts-council-directory/). The email should contain your name, degree objective and a paragraph that clearly, succinctly and compellingly describes your research topic and its significance to a non-specialist audience. A subcommittee of the Arts Council will determine the participants.
