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 />
