Dheepan
Director: Jacques Audiard

Cast: Jesuthasan Antonythasan, Kalieaswari Srinivasan, Claudine Vinasithamby

Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, Dheepan is the gripping new thriller from Jacques Audiard, director of the Oscar-nominated A Prophet and Rust and Bone. Fleeing their country’s civil war, three Sri Lankan refugees are forced to pose as a family. All but strangers to one another, the trio is relocated to a crime-infested Parisian housing project, where they struggle to build a new life together. The setup for this timely and engrossing tale closely mirrors the biography of lead actor Jesuthasan Antonythasan, who came to France after growing up a child soldier in the Tamil Tigers, and here gives a riveting performance. “Absolutely terrific… Audiard’s most compassionate and humanistic film to date” (Indiewire). In Tamil and French with English subtitles.

Emily Arthur on Indirect Take: Observing Habitat and Endangered Species through Printmaking

She will discuss her work on view in the Wisconsin Triennial that addresses a controversy sur­rounding a threatened songbird population.

Gallery Talk                     Friday, September 30 ·  6:30–7 pm                                        TALK

Professor David Drake on Wildlife Conservation: The Blending of Art and Science

Aldo Leopold, father of modern day ecology, argued that artists are necessary to help the public understand the aesthetics of land, and thereby create a cultural shift for a true appreciation of healthy lands and wild­life conservation. Alternatively, artists can also bring attention to the perils of wildlife—habitat loss, pollu­tion, disease, among others. Focusing on works in the Wisconsin Triennial that portray endangered species, UW-Madison associate professor and wildlife spe­cialist David Drake will discuss the causes of species decline and endangered species management.

Sand Storm (Sufat Chol)

Director: Elite Zexer

Cast: Lamis Ammar, Ruba Blal-Asfour, Haitham Omari, Khadija Alakel, Jalal Masrwa

Winner of the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival, Elite Zexer’s exceptional debut feature is perched at the border of tradition and modernity. In a Bedouin village in southern Israel, a family is divided when the mother is put in the awkward spot of hosting her husband’s second wedding to a much younger wife. She finds an outlet for her emotions when she discovers that her teenage daughter is in a secret relationship with a boy from her university. “A lovely, deeply affecting film… one of the most admired at this year’s Sundance” (Bilge Ebiri, Vulture). “Rich and moving… as rooted in the details and power dynamics of daily life as a Cassavetes film” (Amy Taubin, Film Comment). In Arabic with English subtitles.

Kaili Blues (Lu Bian Ye Can)

Director: Bi Gan

Cast: Chen Yongzhong, Zhao Daqing, Luo Feiyang, Xie Lixun, Zeng Shuai

One of the year’s most celebrated art films is this transcendental wonder from 26 year-old poet Bi Gan, a first-time filmmaker from rural China. Searching for his brother’s long-lost child, a doctor journeys to a mysterious town where people’s lives overlap, and past, present, and future converge. This beguiling, spectral odyssey introduces an exciting new voice in world cinema. “A tour de force. The most memorable new movie that I’ve seen in quite some time…. manages to evoke Resnais, Tarkovsky, and Hou Hsiao-hsien” (J. Hoberman, New York Review of Books). “Dazzling originality. It’s hard to emerge from this waking dream of a film without feeling the shock of the new” (Andrew Chan, Film Comment). In Mandarin with English subtitles.

Homo Sapiens

Director: Nikolaus Geyrhalter

A staggering documentary vision of the distant future, Homo Sapiens gives us an all-too-real glimpse of the world after mankind. Travelling across the globe to sites like Fukushima and beyond, Nikolaus Geyrhalter (Our Daily Bread) photographs modern-day ruins—everyday man-made spaces that have been reclaimed by nature, as though hastily abandoned during some unnamed apocalypse. Vegetation sprouts in decaying shopping malls; rivers course through shattered churches; birds nest in abandoned factories. The only thing missing from these ghostly tableaux is us, present only in the detritus we leave behind. Are office buildings, roller coasters, and parking lots destined to become our fossils? Behold the first post-human documentary, eerily breathtaking and vast to contemplate.

Gregory Vershbow on Art in a Liminal Space

Gregory Vershbow photographs art objects within environments and circumstances ordinarily beyond public view. In museum storage facilities and conser­vation laboratories, and at restoration sites, he pho­tographs objects removed from their usual context and in often near-dark conditions, offering a rare opportunity to view otherwise hidden details and consider these artifacts in unassuming and ironic juxtapositions.

Little Sister

Director: Zach Clark

Cast: Addison Timlin, Ally Sheedy, Keith Poulson

October, 2008. Obama is getting in, Halloween is around the corner, and a young novitiate is returning to her childhood home to come to grips with her eccentric family. Confronted with her hippie burnout mother (a terrific Ally Sheedy) and a brother who was disfigured in the Iraq War, Colleen reverts to the goth persona of her youth. Donning her old black lipstick and studded necklace, she cranks up the metal and sets to work repairing her family. Zach Clark’s very funny seasonal comedy takes the pulse of America, and sides firmly with our country’s misfits. “The best new movie I’ve seen this year. Equal parts heartfelt and volatile” (Calum Marsh, Village Voice). “One of the great recent political films… nothing less than an up-to-date vision of the new, weird America. Clark boldly reclaims American Christianity for the left, depicting a demanding faith of radical humanism, without pious displays or moralistic dogma, in service to love” (Richard Brody, The New Yorker).

London Road

Director: Rufus Norris

Cast: Olivia Colman, Paul Thornley, Nick Holder, Clare Burt, Michael Shaeffer, Tom Hardy

A true-crime film like no other, London Road recounts a series of murders that plagued the small British town of Ipswitch—entirely in song. Every lyric in this one-of-a-kind cine-opera is taken verbatim from real-life interviews with the townsfolk, transforming a community in crisis into a spellbinding choir. The bold combination of documentary reportage with musical artifice conjures a delightful frisson, while retaining the core emotional truth of the harrowing episode that binds these neighbors. Here is an exaltation of everyday language and community that you have to see—and hear—to believe. “Enthralling and haunting… an exciting, unsettling experience blessed with imagination and compassion. Five stars”(Time Out). “Utterly gripping and very moving… a unique triumph” (The Guardian).

John Hitchcock on Beads, Birds, and Bombs

John Hitchcock frequently uses the medium of print­making to explore relationships of community, land, and culture, and ideas about safety, security, and protection. Through imagery influenced by beadwork, landforms, and his native culture, Hitchcock’s work speaks symbolically of historical trauma and interprets stories told by his Kiowa/Comanche grandparents.

Spotlight Cinema             Wednesday, November 9 ·  7 pm                                        FILM

After the Storm (Umi yori mada fukaku)

Director: Hirokazu Kore-eda

Cast: Hiroshi Abe, Yoko Maki, Taiyo Yoshizawa, Kirin Kiki

The new film from Japanese master Hirokazu Kore-eda (whose I Wish screened at Spotlight in 2012) is a characteristically warm and affecting portrait of an estranged family reconnecting during a typhoon. Once a renowned author, Ryota has coasted on his glory a little too long, and now finds himself a divorced deadbeat dad, making ends meet as a private detective (and a lousy one at that). The death of his own father inspires Ryota to reconcile with his own family, if they’ll take him back. Filmed in a housing complex where Kore-eda lived as a child, After the Storm is rendered with the intimacy of a cherished memory. In Japanese with English subtitles.

Don’t Call Me Son (Mae So Ha Uma)

Director: Anna Muylaert

Cast: Naomi Nero, Daniel Botelho, Dani Nefussi, Matheus Nachtergaele, Lias Dias

A queer teenager’s life is upended when it is revealed that his working class mom stole him from a wealthy family at birth. Thrust into a well-meaning but very conservative home, Pierre dons a zebra-print mini dress and pushes back. As in her excellent 2015 film The Second Mother, writer/director Anna Muylaert punctures the entitlement and hypocrisy of the Brazilian bourgeoisie, while still retaining a central compassion for her individual characters. Among Don’t Call Me Son’s greatest pleasures is Dani Nefussi’s bravura dual performance as both of Pierre’s mothers, each portrayal completely distinct and believable. Winner of the Teddy Award for best LGBT film at the 2016 Berlin Film Festival. In Portuguese with English subtitles.
