14 - 21 September 2013
Simon Turner tells us:

A bit if advance warning with this one: A Canterbury Tale will be screened as part of the Alton Film Festival scheduled for the week of September 14th to 21st 2013. (Yes, you read that right.) "The festival will be advertised nationally and amongst the most popular films that will attract audiences will be Brief Encounter and A Canterbury Tale. Around each screening will be other activities themed to reflect the film itself, for example, the Brief Encounter experience could include a trip on the Mid Hants Railway, afternoon tea and a talk by members of the society that has helped to preserve the famous Cairnforth Station which was used as a location for the film. Younger visitors will be able to enjoy cartoons of the period as well as interpretation sessions and interactive talks by veterans." Sounds great - I'm going to start planning for it now!

28 March
Diane Broadbent Friedman tells us:

The Granville (Ohio) Historical Society will be showing A Canterbury Tale as part of their March meeting Wednesday March 28 at 7 PM at the Bryn Du mansion. I'm going to give a little introduction.
Why? Because Granville is where John Sweet spent his teen age years --and where my grandmother worked at the Historical Society after she retired as a cook in the Faculty Club at Ohio State University.

The Bryn Du mansion is the fanciest place in town--I've never been in there. John Sweet's family ran another hotel in town--the Buxton Inn --for a few years. A lot of Welsh people settled here. The hills around the town are called the Welsh Hills. There are also some really interesting indian mounds about 5 miles further east, build by the group called the Mound Builders.

Wouldn't it be fun to come to central Ohio in early spring?

Here's one for the screening schedule!

Location is Emory University in Atlanta, GA, where I work, so you know I'll be there!

Black Narcissus (1947)

Wednesday, March 28, 2012 @ 7:30pm
Location:
White Hall 205
301 Dowman Drive
Atlanta, GA 30322
"Black Narcissus" (Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger; The Archers, 1947) (1.37:1, 100 min.) Produced by Powell & Pressburger; written by Powell and Pressburger from the novel by Rumer Godden; starring Deborah Kerr, Flora Robson, Kathleen Byron, David Farrar, Sabu and Jean Simmons. Cinematography by Jack Cardiff.

This India set-film about a group of nuns unprepared for the overripe sensuousness engulfing their isolated mountain convent, was shot entirely in Britain's Pinewood Studios and the garden of a retired army officer in West Sussex that contained the appropriate foliage. Director Powell felt that this was the only way to achieve the complete unity in visual design that he envisioned. The results were spectacular, with the film earning Alfred Junge a pair of Academy Awards for color art direction and set design as well as one for Jack Cardiff's color cinematography.

Department/Organization:
Film Studies
Director: Michael Power and Emeric Pressburger
Series: Emory Cinematheque
Speaker/Presenter: Curated by Dr. Karla Oeler
Event Open To: All
Cost: Free
