Of Gods <strong>and</strong> Men. (French with English subtitles)<br />

Directed by Xavier Beauvois<br />

This film is closely based on the true story of a group of French Cistercian<br />

Trappist monks caught up (<strong>and</strong> ultimately killed) in the violence of the civil war<br />

between the government <strong>and</strong> ruthless Islamist insurgents that gripped Algeria<br />

in the 1990’s. Though it takes place in the recent past, “Of Gods <strong>and</strong> Men” has<br />

a timely resonance, evoking both the messy wars on terror <strong>and</strong> the rebellions<br />

currently convulsing North Africa <strong>and</strong> the Middle East.<br />

Friday October 14th<br />

Beyond Silence (German language with English subtitles)<br />

Directed by Caroline Link<br />

This Academy Award nominated film is the story of a young woman’s battle for<br />

independence <strong>and</strong> her deaf parents’ struggle to underst<strong>and</strong> her gift for music.<br />

Given a clarinet by her aunt, Lara is consumed by a new passion her parents<br />

cannot begin to comprehend. Determined to follow her dreams, Lara’s pursuit of<br />

music creates an ever-widening rift that threatens to tear apart her once closeknit<br />

family. This is an inspirational <strong>and</strong> highly entertaining motion picture!<br />

Friday November 18th<br />

Earth (Hindi <strong>and</strong> Urdu with English subtitles)<br />

Directed by Deepa Mehta<br />

Set against the political turmoil <strong>and</strong> violence surrounding India’s independence<br />

<strong>and</strong> the subsequent partition of Pakistan from India in 1947, the film chronicles<br />

the tragic consequences of national politics <strong>and</strong> religious strife on people’s lives.<br />

The film perspective isof an eight-year-old Parsee girl who witnesses how her<br />

Muslim, Hindu, <strong>and</strong> Sikh friends are either fleeing or being killed in the aftermath<br />

of the British departure from India. In all the religious hatred, the tragedy of a<br />

Hindu girl <strong>and</strong> the two Muslim boys who love her is embedded. These three<br />

characters provide a reflection of a maddening society, where friends become<br />

enemies <strong>and</strong> are even prepared to kill each other. This film is the first of a trilogy,<br />

“Earth “Fire “Water”, by renowned Indian director Deepa Mehta.<br />
