This week's events:
Tuesday, June 27 Young People’s Global Film Series: My Lucky Elephant
1 PM, Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts Recommended for all ages
A young orphaned boy and a baby elephant end up together in an
adventure that takes them from an exotic jungle to a bustling city.
They’ll discover that through all the laughter, the fun, the challenges
and the surprises, life is better when you share it with a friend. Thailand; Rated PG for brief mild language; Directed by Eric Schwab (2013); 91 Minutes.
Wednesday, June 28 Weicholz Global Film Series: The Innocents (Les Innocentes)
Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts Pre-film talk with Dr. John Pfeifer begins at 7pm, with the film beginning at approximately 7:30pm.
Based on a true story, The Innocents tells the story of a French Red Cross doctor, Mathilde Beaulieu, who is treating the last of the French survivors of a German prison camp in a clinic outside of Warsaw. When a panicked Benedictine nun appears at the clinic begging the young female doctor to follow her back to the abbey, Mathilde finds a shocking situation which threatens the very of existence of the convent. A non-believer, Mathilde enters the sisters’ fiercely private world, dictated by the rituals of their order and the strict Mother Superior. Fearing the shame of exposure, the hostility of the occupying Soviet troops and local Polish communists and while facing an unprecedented crisis of faith, the nuns increasingly turn to Mathilde as their beliefs and traditions clash with harsh realities. Poland/France; PG-13; Directed by Anne Fontaine (2016); 115 Minutes.
