Between Shadow and Light: Artwork on Compassion

Film & Media Between Shadow and Light: Artwork on Compassion Show Opening January 28 5pm - 6:30pm Center for Ethics This exhibition features artwork created by Emory students selected from Introduction to Painting and Modes of Visual Thinking studio art courses. Developed in collaboration with Ethics & the Arts at the Emory Center for Ethics, the works explore the theme of compassion through drawing, painting, and sculpture. Ranging from quiet, intimate gestures to more expansive visual reflections, these student artworks consider how empathy, care, and ethical awareness can be expressed through close observation, material choices, and creative process. These works highlight artmaking as a space for reflection, connection, and thoughtful engagement with the human experience. The show will run for the duration of the semester.

Emory Cinematheque: Rome, Open City

Film & Media Emory Cinematheque: Rome, Open City Directed by Roberto Rossellini, 1945 | 103 min. Based on actual events that took place in the closing days of World War II, Roberto Rossellini’s fast-paced, thrilling landmark drama about the Catholic and Communist fight against Nazi rule in Rome was nothing short of revolutionary. A founding work of Italian Neorealism, the film rejected many Hollywood studio traditions and focused on ordinary people and their struggles to survive in the wake of World War II’s devastation. Intricately plotted and shot while the Nazis were still in Rome, the film established a new standard of cinematic realism. All in all, it is an inspiring, highly influential and deeply moving tribute to Italian resilience and the abiding power of love. Free event and open to public. University Event Topic: Arts. Department / Organization: Arts at Emory. Film & Media. Event Open To: All (Public). Wednesday, January 28, 2026, 7:30 PM. White Hall 208 | 301 Dowman Dr.

Emory Cinematheque: Nothing but a Man

Film & Media Emory Cinematheque: Nothing but a Man Directed by Michael Roemer, 1964 | 95 min. This underseen masterpiece of American independent cinema depicts working class Black experience in the South of the early 1960s with enormous sensitivity and intimacy, a far cry from the slicker Hollywood versions produced in the decade. When self-contained, confident railroad worker Duff Anderson (Ivan Dixon, The Spook Who Sat By the Door, Hogan’s Heroes) comes to a southern town and falls in love with the preacher’s daughter Josie (jazz legend Abbey Lincoln), they struggle to fight all kinds of pressures from the Black and white communities which insist they accept the indignities of segregation and white supremacy. Recently restored, the film looks better than ever, with superb performances from the entire cast. Free event and open to public. University Event Topic: Arts.

Like Ailey, all of these choreographers were beloved fixtures in the New York City dance scene of the 1960s-80s. All of them helped to shape multiple generations of dance artists. And all taught at Clark Center. Originally founded as a home for Ailey's company in 1959, Clark Center was a vibrant hub of dance teaching and training, especially for African Americans. In this lecture, I share this under-told history of Black concert dance, drawing on archival research and oral history interviews with over twenty Clark Center alumni. Also key to understanding Clark Center’s significance was its location: midtown Manhattan, near Times Square and Broadway.… University Event Topic: Arts. School: All Emory University.

Emory Cinematheque: The Lives of Others

Film & Media Emory Cinematheque: The Lives of Others Directed by Florian Hencken von Donnersmarck, 2006 | 137 min. Screening introduced by Dr. Caroline Schaumann, Professor of German Studies. Florian Hencken von Donnersmarck burst onto the international scene with this Oscar-winning exploration of oppressed life and artistic censorship during the 1980s in repressive, authoritarian East Germany. When a die-hard STASI (secret police) agent begins surveilling a successful, government-approved playwright and his partner, a leading actress, he begins to question his work and his own beliefs. With an exquisitely complex script and superb performances from his cast, von Donnersmarck crafted one of the greatest films of the 21st century, a truly moving example of coming to terms with the past and the unquenchable desire for freedom.

Emory Cinematheque: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Film & Media Emory Cinematheque: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance Directed by John Ford, 1962 | 123 min. The western genre mythologized America’s frontier expansion, and John Ford’s last great film in this genre manages to sum up both his own work and the genre itself. Through the multiple confrontations among the murderous outlaw Liberty Valence (Lee Marvin), the quintessential western loner hero Tom Doniphon (John Wayne) and naïve eastern lawyer Ransom Stoddard (James Stewart), this ultimately elegiac film explores and dismantles the mythology of the settling of the west while dramatizing the process of establishing a western state—and at what cost. Suspenseful, funny and ultimately melancholy, Liberty Valence‘s dramatization of competing values of individualism and community and the place of gun violence in American history remain strikingly relevant today. The three leads give iconic performances. Free event and open to public. University Event Topic: Arts. Department / Organization: Arts at Emory. Film & Media. Event Open To: All (Public).

Emory Cinematheque: The Third Man

Film & Media Emory Cinematheque: The Third Man Directed by Carol Reed , 1949 | 104 min. Arguably no film better captured the sense of post-World War II disillusionment than Carol Reed’s realization of an original Graham Greene script about despicable crime and corruption in Vienna. Declared by at least one critic as “probably the greatest British thriller of the postwar era,” the film, featuring exteriors shot on location in Vienna, is largely a detective noir featuring an out of his depth American pulp fiction writer Holly Martens (Joseph Cotton), his old friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles) and the woman they both love (Alida Valli). Reed elicited memorable performances from his cast (also including Trevor Howard). Cinematographer Robert Krasker furthered the film's unsettling atmosphere with his extensive use of canted angles. And Anton Karas’s zither “Third Man Theme” achieved top-charting status for nearly three months. You will have a hard time forgetting it or more to the point, the film.

Emory Cinematheque: High and Low

Film & Media Emory Cinematheque: High and Low Directed by Akira Kurosawa, 1963 | 143 min. Akira Kurosawa is best known for his innovative samurai films, but he took special pride in his contemporary dramas like Ikiru / Living (1952) and this masterful kidnapping detective thriller, recently reconfigured by Spike Lee as Higher 2 Lowest (2025). Immediately after shoe company executive Kingo Gondo (frequent collaborator Toshiro Mifune) mortgages everything to buy a controlling interest in his company, he faces a moral dilemma as to whether to pay an outrageous ransom for the kidnapping of his chauffeur’s son. Kurosawa, at this point fearless in his storytelling prowess, uses every cinematic technique at his disposal to produce a gripping, unpredictable, exhilarating film that is both intimate and epic in its scope.

Emory Cinematheque: The Gold Rush

Film & Media Emory Cinematheque: The Gold Rush Directed by Charles Chaplin, 1925 | 96 min. 1920s silent comedy was America’s gift to the world, and Charlie Chaplin’s film about the Tramp’s adventures in the frozen north remains the peak of his considerable 1920s achievements. He had solved the challenge of combining stand-alone comic episodes into a fully realized narrative and created a fully realized fictional world. Chaplin remains the greatest screen performer in cinema history, and this film—for which he wrote the script, the music and which he directed--showcases his trademark inventiveness via the imaginative transformation of objects, hilarious slapstick, as well as The Tramp’s enduring, endearing yearning for love and acceptance. We are screening the brand new restoration print celebrating the film’s 100th anniversary. Free event and open to public. University Event Topic: Arts. Department / Organization: Arts at Emory.

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.

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.

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. Department / Organization: Arts at Emory. Film & Media. Event Open To: All (Public). Wednesday, April 22, 2026, 7:30 PM. White Hall 208 | 301 Dowman Dr.
