Creativity Conversations
Join us for an evening with acclaimed artist Charly Palmer and Emory University Visual Art students for a dynamic panel discussion exploring the collaborative creation of a mural for Footwork, Emory’s campus-wide programmatic celebration of soccer.
Together, they will discuss the creative process, importance of mentorship, and the power of visual storytelling to capture movement, identity, and cultural exchange. Rooted in both artistic practice and the rhythms of the world’s game, this conversation offers insight into how art—like sport—offers a beautiful connection to others.

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.

Tell Us of the World is one of two concurrent exhibitions by Atlanta-based artist and current Emory Arts Fellow, Stephanie Dowda DeMer. The other, entitled Tell the World of Us opens at WhiteSpace Gallery Shedspace. Both exhibitions examine the eroding connections between humans and nature and the irrevocable aspects of this loss.
Tell Us of the World creates a space of art as ecological research. The gallery becomes a lab for examining Dowda DeMer’s unique camera-less process for visualizing plant fluorescence and understanding the interdependent relationship we share with plants. Dowda DeMer’s practice extends into ecology, physics, and Emory’s Herbarium, with each investigative lens represented and intermixed with the epistemology of art.
DeMer writes:
Through a novel camera-less technique, I am documenting plant…

Nix-Mann Endowed Lecture: Richard Moore on Compassion and Forgiveness
Michael C. Carlos Museum
On May 4, 1972, in Derry, Ireland, a ten-year-old Richard Moore was shot with a rubber bullet fired by a British soldier on the edge of his school’s playground.
He returned to his school, attended university, became a successful businessman, founded the organization Children in Crossfire, became an accomplished musician, married a wife, and had two children. In 2006, Richard met the soldier who shot him.
In this talk, Moore will speak on compassion and his journey from a child who was a victim of the conflict in Northern Ireland, to finding freedom in forgiveness.
“Among the billions of people in the world you [Richard] have provided a living example of the true practice of forgiveness and therefore a source of hope for every one of us.” – His Holiness the 14th Dali Lama
The program is free and open to the public, and registration is required.

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.

“Rocks as Art: Collected and Displayed by Chinese Scholars”
Jan Stuart
Melvin R. Seiden Curator of Chinese Art
National Museum of Asian Art
----------
In China, for well over a millennium, selected natural rocks known as Scholar’s Rocks have been admired for their aesthetic and spiritual qualities. Like animate beings, these stones possess vital energy and breath. Collected by emperors and scholar-officials, large rocks placed in gardens served as focal points to engender thoughts about perfecting oneself and gaining immortality, and for contemplation about nature and travel through mountains. In miniature form, rocks on a scholar’s desk brought the cosmos within hand’s reach. Their visual power is reflected in the Chinese saying that a garden without rocks is not beautiful and a room without rocks is not elegant. This lecture discusses cultural meanings of rocks and the artistic…

Emory Dance major Nadia Piecyk’s research is grounded in a view of disability as inherently queer. Her honors thesis project investigates how the body-centricity of disability and queerness disrupts normative hierarchies that privilege mind over body and stability over fluidity. Both disability and queerness are subject to external scrutiny, medicalization, and societal expectations of performance, yet both challenge normative expectations of embodiment and identity, existing in the liminal space between visibility and invisibility. Given that queerness and disability are both so “bodied,” how do hypervisibility and invisibility show up on the stage?

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.

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.

In partnership with the Center for Ethics in the Arts at Emory University, the Atlanta Film Society presents a free screening of NATCHEZ and a Q&A with Suzannah Herbert, Producer / Director.
NATCHEZ Short Synopsis:
After generations of showcasing its pre-Civil War mansions and hoop-skirted guides, Natchez, Mississippi, is now reckoning with a romanticized past, an uncertain future, and the debt it owes to the descendants of slavery. A cinematic portrait of a tourist town at a crossroads, NATCHEZ follows an array of historic homeowners, activists, and tour guides as they tell their versions of the past, and clash over who gets to tell America’s story.
Ethics at the Movies is a documentary screening series presented by the Center for Ethics at Emory University, featuring in-person post-film conversations with members of creative teams. Ethics at the Movies has screened over 40 films…

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?

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.

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!

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!

Spoiler Alert: the pieces may have been composed early on, but they are already fantastic!
