Screening | French Documentary: Agnès Varda's The Gleaners and I (2000)


The process of gleaning—scavenging the remains of a crop that were missed by professional pickers—typically follows the first harvest. Sometimes gleaners are brought in by farmers, but usually they simply invite themselves. Most patiently look for the hidden fruit, the jewels that have ripened to succulent perfection. But a gleaner can also be the guy who Dumpster-dives to retrieve recyclable bottles, worn but still useful clothing, or perhaps a treasure or two. 82 min. In French with English subtitles.

Screening | Laurel Nakadate's Stay the Same Never Change (2009): The World of the Heartland Tween


Nakadate takes us beyond the prepackaged world of the Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana to the true heartland of America and the tween girls that inhabit it. In Kansas City, pop culture is something to be twisted and reshaped, relationships are nonexistent or refabricated, and time is unstructured and teasing. At the heart of these girls’ lives—and this innovative work of cinema—is a quest for understanding and a sense of place. The film’s amateur actors and nonlinear narrative bring an unnerving, utterly human face to the challenges of young womanhood in the age of Facebook and the Disney Channel. 93 min.
