About the Films
Join us in celebrating two of 1962’s best short films plus more. In his short documentary Vive le Tour, Louis Malle presents his energetic evocation of the Tour de France. Chris Marker, filmmaker, poet, novelist, photographer, editor, and now videographer and digital multimedia artist, has been challenging moviegoers, philosophers, and himself for years with his complex queries about time, memory, and the rapid advancement of life on this planet. Marker’s La Jetée is one of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made, a tale of time travel told in still images.

As part of “The Patriot Project: Bringing History to Life” and Latin History Month, Wendy Adams, Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences, will screen “Latin History for Morons.” In this one-man Broadway show, John Leguizamo finds humor and heartbreak as he traces 3,000 years of Latin history in an effort to help his bullied son. General Bernardo Galvez’s (from Spain), who Leguizamo describes as the “George Washington of Texas, Louisiana, and Pensacola,” personal financing of the war effort and command of army comprised of Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Mexican that help win American Revolutionary War is highlighted. Hailed by Chicago Tribune’s Chris Jones as “a genuinely brilliant piece of popular, political theater,” this is a must see for students, educators, and the general public.
