Screening
Iraq in Fragments
James Longley, Director
Location: The Renaissance Society
Admission: free
Iraq In Fragments illuminates post?war Iraq in three acts, building a vivid picture of a country pulled in different directions by religion and ethnicity. Filmed in verité style, with no scripted narration, the film powerfully explores the lives of ordinary Iraqis: people whose thoughts, beliefs, aspirations, and concerns are at once personal and illustrative of larger issues in Iraq today. This event is co-sponsored with The Film Studies Center and is FREE. Cobb Hall Room 425
Concert
Souls of the Labadie Tract
David Grubbs, electronics, and Susan Howe, reading
Location: The Renaissance Society
Admission: free
The follow up to their 2005 collaboration Thiefth, Souls of the Labadie Tract consists of a new Howe text based on a Dutch Quietist sect that settled in Maryland in 1684 to await the upcoming turn-of-the-century.
This event is co-sponsored with Poem Present and will take place in Bond Chapel (1050 E. 59th St) which is on the main quadrangle of the University directly east of Cobb Hall. FREE.
