Winner of 2013 Cannes Film Festival’s Best Director “Year-long grooming provides explanatory social context in how marginalized kids get caught up in organized violence to get a sense of control over powerless lives.” – Nora Lee Mandel of Film Forward “Quietly powerful, haunting, unflinchingly honest and character-driven.” —Avi Offer of NYC Movie Guru Jealousy France – 2013 – 1 hour 17 min. Nominated Best Director of Venice Film Festival 2013 “Short and anything but sweet, Jealousy is a good entry point to Garrel’s filmography, for those new to the director’s work.” —Kimber Myers of The Playlist “Philippe Garrel’s movies feel like ghost stories: delicate, enigmatic, and haunted by some indelible, unnameable presence, which a viewer can’t help but suspect is the director’s own past.” —Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of AV Club “Call it a masterpiece.” —Ray Pride of Newcity One Day Pina Asked… France – 1983 – 57 min. Original ’83 Television Broadcast Restored One Night only Sept. 27, 11:15 a.m. Flat $7 “Akerman’s film is a work of modestly daring wonder, of exploration and inspiration. With her audacious compositions, decisive cuts, and tightrope-tremulous sense of time-and her stark simplicity-it shares, in a way that Wender’s film doesn’t, the immediate exhilaration of the moment of creation.

The first week of school usually consists of meeting classmates and reading through countless syllabi. In SFUAD’s dance department however, rehearsals are already in full swing. With the dancer’s first performance this weekend as a part of The After Hours Alliance Festival of Progressive Arts, and their second just two weeks later in celebration of Greer Garson’s 110th birthday, all seven dance majors have schedules full of rehearsals and brains full of choreography. Shannon Elliott, the chair of the dance department, described a vibrant, eclectic group of five new students. With three new women and two new men, all with different dance backgrounds, hailing from various parts of the country, the diversity and collective experience of the department only seems to be growing. “It’s nice to have this new energy, and just a new comradery that I see occurring. Them working together not only in class, but also in rehearsals,” Elliott says. There are also two new faculty members contributing to the further growth of the department. Banu Ogan, who will be teaching both ballet and modern classes, taught at Juilliard for almost an entire decade after her career with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. A new ballroom class that will address swing, tango and salsa will be taught by Mike Garcia, a prominent figure in the Santa Fe dance scene. “I think it’s great to actually have them here and to see who the dance majors are,” says Elliott. “And to begin conceptualizing how we can move this group forward together.” Elliott also has plans to bring in guest choreographers not only to make original works, but also to teach master classes and set existing pieces on the dancers. With only a week of the new school year under their belts, this upcoming semester is already...
