Visual Arts Cinema's First Nasty Women Wednesday 4/8/2026 at 2:30pm in PAIS 280 Dr. Maggie Hennefeld (University of Minnesota) and Dr. Laura Horak (Carleton University) will give a talk on their groundbreaking research that led to Cinema’s First Nasty Women, a 4-disc DVD and Blu-ray collection released by Kino Classics (with accompanying open access booklet) that features rarely seen silent shorts featuring women engaging in various acts of subversive behavior, from comic antics to defying gender norms.

Emory Cinematheque: Sense and Sensibility

Film & Media Emory Cinematheque: Sense and Sensibility Directed by Ang Lee, 1995 | 136 min. Emma Thompson’s perceptive and witty Oscar-winning screenplay provided the foundation for this outstanding adaptation of Jane Austen’s first novel. We remain always at the side of the dispossessed Dashwood sisters, especially the practical Elinor (Thompson) and the passionate Marianne (Kate Winslet), as they debate how best to approach matters of the heart, over which they, like all of Austen’s heroines, have so little control. Boasting a fine cast of British actors--including the three romcom heartthrobs Hugh Grant, Greg Wise and Alan Rickman--the film perfectly marries Ang Lee’s penchant for long takes and stories of repressed emotion to late 18th century British society. Free event and open to public. University Event Topic: Arts. Department / Organization: Arts at Emory. Film & Media. Event Open To: All (Public). Wednesday, April 8, 2026, 7:30 PM.

Join us for a lecture with guest historian Dr. Joran Proot! Dr. Proot is a distinguished historian of early modern books from the Cultura Fonds and the University of Antwerp. During the lecture, Dr. Proot will discuss the study of handmade paper in the handpress period, 15th–17th centuries. In the transition of handwritten books to books printed with moveable type on common presses in the middle of the fifteenth century, the most frequently used substrate – i.e. handmade paper – played, in many ways, an important role. It is generally known that in the beginning paper sheets used for printed books were rather thick, and that paper became thinner over time. This process has a number of important implications for the book, which is in many regards a design object avant la… University Event Topic: Arts. Department / Organization: Art History.

Emory Cinematheque: The Lady Eve

Film & Media Emory Cinematheque: The Lady Eve Directed by Preston Sturges, 1941 | 94 min. With The Lady Eve, the brilliant writer-director Preston Sturges created the Hollywood screwball comedy to top them all. It’s full of impossible situations, clever, double-entendre dialogue (necessary in the era of the Production Code) and plentiful pratfalls. When con artist Jean Harrington (Barbara Stanwyck) seduces and then falls for an out-of-his-depth snake-studying heir Charles Pike (Henry Fonda) on an ocean liner, she gets more than she bargained for and resolves to set things right. Boasting a cast of Sturges comic regulars, as well as the always delightful Charles Coburn as Jean’s deceitful father “Colonel” Harrington, The Lady Eve was written expressly for Stanwyck and she goes to town in this “woman on top” romp. Meanwhile Fonda demonstrates his comic chops to the fullest. Who knew? Free event and open to public. University Event Topic: Arts. Department / Organization: Arts at Emory. Film & Media.

Guest Lecture: "Girlhood, Trauma, and Healing in the Musical Vernacular of Depression: A Close Reading of Princess Nokia's GIRLS (2025)”

Music Abstract:In recent years, mental health has become an undeniable focal point in Anglo-American popular music in several key ways, including: as a set of terms – “depression,” “anxiety,” “PTSD,” etc. – loosely invoked by pop artists and fans to disclose, destigmatize, and normalize everyday experiences of sadness, loneliness, and despair; as an organizational theme on music streaming platforms in connection with mood and activity-based listening; and as a diverse musical and visual style forming around key musical personae and subgenres. I ultimately call this phenomenon the musical vernacular of depression, a dynamic expressive category that speaks to the prevalence of clinical depression and anxiety in young people, ongoing cultural depathologization of mental health, and intense cultural debate over what “depression” is. This talk addresses the aesthetic politics of girlhood in the musical vernacular of depression through a close reading of Nuyorican rapper Princess Nokia’s 2025 album GIRLS, an album that… University Event Topic: Arts.

Emory Cinematheque: The Rules of the Game

Film & Media Emory Cinematheque: The Rules of the Game Directed by Jean Renoir, 1939 | 110 min. Jean Renoir’s satire of the French bourgeoisie “dancing on the edge of a volcano” (e.g. the Fascist threats at its borders) is the crowning achievement of his golden decade of filmmaking in France (though a case can be made for his magnificent anti-war Grand Illusion). Classically structured, Rules transforms from an urbane comedy of manners among an amoral, adulterous group of mostly wealthy Parisians into a fast-paced, upstairs/downstairs slapstick farce when all hell breaks loose at a costume ball at a Loire chateau. Renoir here achieves the height of naturalism through his signature style--complex staging captured by his frequent use of a mobile camera and long takes. The film is imbued with Renoir’s generous affection for all his characters, no matter how badly they behave. Free event and open to public. University Event Topic: Arts.

Atlanta Master Chorale: "Early Genius": Youthful Works of Handel, Mozart, and Mendelssohn

2025–2026 Atlanta Master Chorale, $42 | All Students $10 Tickets are available ONLINE or by calling the Box Office at 404.727.5050. Season Subscriptions Available Here Admirers of classical music put the great composers up on a pedestal, and rightly so. Their music has stood the test of time and is seen as some of the most magnificent music ever written. But even the great composers started out writing music in their youth. Handel wrote his first choral work, "Dixit Dominus," when he was 21 years old. Mozart wrote his first Mass for choir, orchestra, and soloists at the age of 12! Having performed both the Mozart Requiem and Handel's Messiah in previous seasons, we thought it would be really interesting to perform works written much earlier in the composers' lives. Spoiler Alert: the pieces may have been composed early on, but they are already fantastic!
