Experience extreme athleticism with a virtuoso of motion, as choreographer Elizabeth Streb proves that contemporary dance can be action-oriented and explosive, while still remaining as graceful and captivating as ballet. The documentary BORN TO FLY: Elizabeth Streb vs. Gravity is the story of the groundbreaking artist sometimes called "the Evel Knievel of dance." Streb's athletic dancers are part gymnast, part acrobat, and part extreme thrill seeker--walking on walls, diving through glass, and moving so fast they seem to fly. The film culminates as Streb and her dancers prepare and present gravity-defying performances as part of London's Cultural Olympiad leading up to the 2012 Olympics. Directed by Catherine Gund.

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.
