Film Events This Week:



Monday, May 4th, 6-7pm: Dartmouth Film Society Meeting (Wilson 205)

The Dartmouth Film Society is a student organization that meets once a week to discuss the films playing at the Hopkins Center, debate important issues (like whether Ghostbusters is the best film of all time), write program notes, critique new movie trailers and vote on series proposals for future terms. You don’t have to be an expert - you just have to have an opinion!



Tuesday, May 5th, 4pm: Ethics Institute Film Screening and Panel Discussion: “Inequality For All” (Silsby 028, Free and Open to the Public)

Join us for a free screening of the film followed by discussion with two of the nation’s leading writers on the perils of class division, Harvard economist Richard Parker and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind. Film Synopsis: A passionate argument on behalf of the middle class, “Inequality For All” features Robert Reich as he demonstrates how the widening income gap has a devastating impact on the American economy. The film is an intimate portrait of a man whose lifelong goal remains protecting those who are unable to protect themselves. Through his singular perspective, Reich explains how the massive consolidation of wealth by a precious few threatens the viability of the American workforce and the foundation of democracy itself. In this “Inconvenient Truth” for the economy, Reich uses humor and a wide array of facts to explain how the issue of economic inequality affects all of us.

Thursday, May 7th, 7pm: National Theatre Live in HD: “Behind the Beautiful Forevers” (Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $10 for students)

Pulitzer Prize-winner Katherine Boo spent three years in Annawadi recording the lives of its residents. From her uncompromising book, winner of the National Book Award for Non-Fiction 2012, David Hare has fashioned a tumultuous play on an epic scale. India is surging with global ambition. But beyond the luxury hotels surrounding Mumbai airport lies a makeshift slum, full of people with plans of their own. Zehrunisa and her son Abdul aim to recycle enough rubbish to fund a proper house. Sunil, 12 and stunted, wants to eat until he’s as tall as Kalu the thief. Asha seeks to steal government anti-poverty funds to turn herself into a ‘first-class person’, while her daughter Manju intends to become the slum’s first female graduate. But their schemes are fragile; global recession threatens the garbage trade, and another slum-dweller is about to make an accusation that will destroy herself and shatter the neighborhood.

Friday, May 8th, 7pm: Hop Film: “Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

In modern Israel only Orthodox rabbis can legalize a union or its dissolution, and the latter also requires the husband’s full consent. Trapped in a loveless marriage, Viviane Amsalem has been applying for a divorce (gett) for three years but her devout husband continually refuses. This uncompromising, heart-rending portrait of a woman’s struggle to overcome an unmoving patriarchy has won awards worldwide and ignited a firestorm at home. D: Ronit & Shlomi Elkabetz, Israel, subtitled, 2015, Runtime: 115m https://hop.dartmouth.edu/Online/hopfilmgett



Saturday, May 9th, 2pm: Film Special: “Modern Times”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

A masterpiece never grows old. Charlie Chaplin directed, starred and composed the score for his political and popular delight. The last screen appearance of the Little Tramp finds our shabby, silent hero struggling to survive in the modern, industrialized world. The iconic depiction of Chaplin working frantically to keep up with an assembly line inspired numerous later comedy routines from Donald Duck to Lucy and Ethel. Don’t miss the Tramp and the Gamin in a beautifully restored 35mm print, a perfect way to introduce kids to classic cinema! D: Charlie Chaplin, US, 1936, Runtime: 87m https://hop.dartmouth.edu/Online/filmspecialmoderntimes



Saturday, May 9th, 5pm & 8pm: Hop Film: “Chappie”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

Neill Blomkamp’s (Elysium, District 9) latest continues his exploration of the increasingly fine line between robot and human. In a near future protected by mechanized police, a droid is stolen and re-programmed. “Chappie” acquires the ability to feel and think for himself and evolves with childlike enthusiasm. As such, he becomes a dangerous and unacceptable reality for those in power. Hugh Jackman and Sigourney Weaver star in this stylized, thoughtful new work of science “fiction.”  D: Neill Blomkamp, US, 2015, Runtime: 120m

Sunday, May 10th, 4pm: DFS Film: “We Are the Best!”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

Pixie-ish, mohawk-sporting Klara and her best friend Bobo are 13-year-old rebels looking for a cause. Despite having no instruments—or discernible musical talent—the two put all their energy into forming an all-girl punk band, recruiting their shy, classical guitar-playing schoolmate Hedvig as the third wheel. With tender affection for his young characters and the period in which his film is set, Moodysson paints an ebullient and sharply observant portrait of DIY spirit and growing up different. D: Lukas Moodysson, Sweden, subtitled, 2014, Runtime: 102m
