Join us at White Hall this Friday evening! Can't wait to see everyone! Anne

The Russian and East European Studies Program at Emory University is proud to present this film by the Hungarian director Miklós Jancsó (b. 1921), one of the major innovators in world cinema. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see this powerful film on the big screen in their original theatrical format.

88 minutes, color, 35mm

Co-sponsored by the Department of Film Studies

Arguably Jancsó's masterpiece, and the pinnacle of his unforgettable visual style. The film's subject is a brutally suppressed agrarian revolt in the late nineteenth century; Jancsó stages the event as a hallucinatory pageant of color, movement and music. In some thirty astonishingly choreographed shots (most films have hundreds) the camera circles the actors, using a zoom lens to catch fleeting details and to subtly alter the viewer's perception of space. The actors sing and dance for most of the time - this is Jancsó's ultimate homage to Hungarian folk dancing, which was his initiation into art and comradeship as an anti-Nazi activist during WWII. Film historian David Cook describes Red Psalm as "a film of nearly perfect formal beauty, great humanity, and awesome cinematic power." Jonathan Rosenbaum (Chicago Reader) writes: "May well be the greatest Hungarian film of the 60s and 70s, summing up an entire strain in work that lamentably has been forgotten here." Winner of Best Direction at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival.

Rossini's Cinderella

A Fairytale. (And Funny, Too!)

How can a girl dream of escaping a harsh life of toil in a loveless home? Rossini's sparkling setting of the Cinderella story shows how goodness can triumph over greed.
