Film | D.W. Griffith's Orphans of the Storm (1921): Silent Melodrama
Lillian and Dorothy Gish star as the resourceful Henriette and the blind Louise, who leave their countryside home for Paris in the hopes of having Louise's sight restored. Spied by the lecherous Marquis de Praille, Henriette is abducted, and the women are tragically separated in a city on the brink of anarchy. With the help of a kind-hearted nobleman, Henriette endeavors to find the helpless Louise, but cruel fate repeatedly thwarts her efforts. Griffith exploits their heart-wrenching dilemma with masterful skill, crowning the drama with political intrigue, spectacle, and his usual degree of social moralizing (staunchly disclaiming any parallels between the French Revolution and recent waves of "bolshevism"), drawing the multi-layered epic to its white-knuckled climax outside the old city gates of Paris, beneath the gleam of the guillotine's scarlet blade. Director: D. W. Griffith Cast: Lillian Gish, Dorothy Gish D.W. Griffith was an American film director who was one of the most influential and controversial figures in the history of the motion picture. He pioneered many aspects of film editing and expanded the art of the narrative film. Today, he is primarily remembered for directing the controversial 1915 film Birth of a Nation.

Film | Live By Night (2016): Action Drama Starring Ben Affleck
Taking fatherly advice is not in Joe Coughlin's nature. Instead, the WWI vet is a selfproclaimed anti-establishment outlaw, despite being the son of the Boston Police Deputy Superintendent. Joe's not all bad, though; in fact, he's not really bad enough for the life he's chosen. Unlike the gangsters he refuses to work for, he has a sense of justice and an open heart, and both work against him, leaving him vulnerable time and again--in business and in love. Director: Ben Affleck Cast: Ben Affleck, Elle Fanning, Brendan Gleeson, Chris Messina, Sienna Miller, Zoe Saldana, Chris Cooper Ben Affleck is an American actor and filmmaker who gained wide recognition when he and Matt Damon won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for writing Good Will Hunting (1997), which they also starred in. He established himself as a leading man in studio films. His accolades include two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and three Golden Globes.

Screening | 155th Birthday Celebration of Marcel Proust, one of the most influential novelists of the 20th century
The celebration will include screening of the documentary of Marcel Proust: A Writer's Life (1993) - a film about the life and work of Marcel Proust with emphasis on his struggle to realize the 3,000 page masterpiece Remembrance of Things Past (A la recherche du temps perdu). Includes archival film footage. Book discussion follows. Alongside figures such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Franz Kafka, Proust shifted literature toward subjective experience. Proust's biggest innovation may actually be his treatment of memory--especially what he called "involuntary memory". In Remembrance of Things Past (known as well as In Search of Lost Time), time is not a simple chronological sequence, past and present constantly interact through memory. This approach influenced countless later writers. The documentary is directed by Sarah Mondale.
