1. ICE-Vision: Rumble Fish (Coppola, 1983)
Tuesday, October 22 at 5:30 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.
Based on the S.E. Hinton novel, Rumble Fish follows the lives of two brothers, Rusty James (Matt
Dillon) and The Motorcycle Boy (Mickey Rourke). Roger Ebert wrote, "Rumble Fish gives you
emotions, looks and sounds rather than story; afterwards, you feel like you've seen a gang movie,
but you're not sure which one...I thought Rumble Fish was offbeat, daring, and utterly original."
With direction from Francis Ford Coppola and beautiful cinematography by Stephen Burum, Rumble
Fish tells a simple tale in an engaging and mysterious fashion.
Next week: Last Days of Disco (Stillman,1998)

7. Event: Now and Then: 1973 Storytellers & Scholars
Thursday, October 24 at 7 PM
Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries, Room 285
Inspired by the storytelling format of popular radio show This American Life, and co-sponsored by
local non-profit Rabbit Box, this event will invite selected scholars and community members to tell
stories around the theme "It was a Big Year."
Three scholars drawn from departments on the University of Georgia campus will reflect on what
they consider to have been a big year in their field of study - addressing music, fashion, and film.
Presenters will include Professor David Barbe (Music Business Program, Terry College of Business),
Jose Blanco F. (Historic Clothing and Textiles Collection, College of Family and Consumer Sciences),
and Dr. Richard Neupert (Department of Theatre and Film Studies).
Rabbit Box, a local non-profit that fosters the art of storytelling by providing a forum for people to
share true stories from their lives, will solicit three storyteller participants from the Athens
community to participate in the program, composing pieces around the same theme. Storytellers
and scholars will be interwoven in the program, shifting the focus from national and international
events to personal stories about significant events in the lives of individuals. Light refreshments
will be served during the event.

8. Lecture: "From Mainstream Nostalgia to New Hollywood, Blaxploitation and Foreign Art Cinema"
Friday, October 25 at 4 PM
Miller Learning Center, Room 150
This fall's Cinema Roundtable investigates 1973 in American cinema, expanding on the special
"Now and Then: 1973" exhibit at the Richard B. Russell Building Special Collections Libraries.
For politics and culture, 1973 included such milestones as Roe v. Wade, the return of POWs from
the Vietnam War, and President Nixon proclaiming he was not a crook on national television. In the
world of cinema, things were just as tumultuous. Hollywood offered up movies set in the past,
such as The Way We Were and The Sting, while Scorsese's Mean Streets, Malick's Badlands, and
Friedkin's The Exorcist shook up the usual formulas. Within Blaxploitation, women characters burst
on the screen in Coffy and Cleopatra Jones, while Jimmy Cliff brought reggae into the mainstream
with The Harder They Come. But foreign cinema was also huge in art cinemas that year, with
Brando shocking America in Last Tango in Paris, though Truffaut's Day for Night won the Academy
Award, and Bruce Lee helped launch a martial arts craze.
This Cinema Roundtable is moderated by Richard Neupert, film studies coordinator in the
Department of Theatre and Film Studies, and features theatre and film studies faculty Freda Scott
Giles (African American Studies), Christopher Sieving, and Rielle Navitski. The Roundtable is free
and open to the public.
