Stellet Licht (Silent Night) (2007, Mexico) 145 min. Directed by Carlos Reygadas. Sponsored by the Humanities Student Society and introduced by Sarah Pike, Religious Studies and Humanities Center. A man of faith succumbs to a temptation he cannot resist. Johan (Cornelio Wall Fehr) and Esther (Miriam Toews) have been married for years and live with the children in a Mennonite community in northern Mexico. While Johan and Esther are both taciturn by nature, a moral delimma is tearing Johan apart--he's been having an affair with another woman in their circle, Marianne (Maria Pankratz), and feels he may be falling in love with her. While the tenets of his faith strictly forbid adultery, his need to be with Marianne seems stronger than his moral compass...after Johan confesses to his father about his lust for Marianne, he's told that he may have fallen under the sway of Satan. World Premiere at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. In the Little Theater (Ayres 106) $3 donation appreciated.

Kyle Killian, Anthropogy "Maurist Monks and 'Romantic' Ruins: Seventeenth-Century Appropriations of a Medieval Past" Humanities Center Tertulia 3-4:30 Trinity 100 and 126 The Maurist monks in the 17th century took over monasteries ruined in religious life. A central part of their endeavor was reconstructing and appropriating fragments of the past-architectural, legal, historical-and fashioning a new image for themselves based on a (reconstructed) past they could never get back to and a plan for bringing that monastic past into the future. The Maurist' project makes a case study, as much historical as artistic, for thinking about how memory and fragments of the past are utilized.
